Stifel U.S. Freeski Team Announces 2025 World Championship Team

Park City, Utah (March 11, 2025) – U.S. Ski & Snowboard is proud to announce the 17 Stifel U.S. Freeski Team athletes and four ski cross athletes representing the United States at the 2025 FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships in Engadin, Switzerland, March 18-30, 2025.

This event marks the 20th FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships and is sure to impress. The Stifel U.S. Freeski Team is headlined by freeski veterans including Olympic medalists Alex Hall and Colby Stevenson in slopestyle/big air, along with Olympic medalists Alex Ferreira, Nick Goepper and David Wise in halfpipe. 

Reigning big air world champion Troy Podmilsak will look to defend his title he won in 2023. Alex Hall, Colby Stevenson, Mac Forehand and Konnor Ralph all have podiumed at FIS World Cups this season, earning them their World Championships spot. On the women’s side, Grace Henderson scored a silver at X Games big air and Rell Harwood is coming off back-to-back slopestyle World Cup podiums, making both women serious podium threats in Endagin.

The men’s halfpipe squad has been tough to beat this year, with the United States sweeping the podium at the Secret Garden World Cup, X Games and Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Aspen, highlighted by Ferreira and Goepper’s season-long battle for victory. They are joined by Hunter Hess and three time Olympic medalist David Wise, who have shared podiums with Goepper and Ferreira this season. Svea Irving will also be one to watch as she earned a third place in Secret Garden earlier this season and is currently sitting in fourth overall.

“The Stifel U.S. Freeski Team has been looking forward to the FIS Ski World Championships in Endagin all season,” said Freeski Sport Director Skogen Sprang. “With the slopestyle venue consistently being one of the best stops of the tour for the last 10 years and a new superpipe built to perfection, we couldn’t be happier to wrap up the season in such a beautiful place with world class venues. Strong podium results have qualified a great team and I look forward to seeing all the athletes progress the sport and land some amazing runs."

“The Stifel U.S. Freeski Team is having an incredible season,” said Anouk Patty, U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport. “We have a great group of athletes representing us at World Championships and I know they will push one another to the top of the podium.”
