Two-time defending Olympic halfpipe gold medalist David Wise – the only men's freeskier to ever hold that title – returns as the experienced veteran looking to record a historic three-peat, while Alex Hall enters his second Games a dual medal contender in slopestyle and big air, primed to show off the very latest he's mastered in dazzling aerial maneuvers.
On the freestyle side, Winter Vinecki and Jaelin Kauf will help lead strong U.S. contingents in aerials and moguls, respectively, two units that have recently exhibited talent that punches above their historical weight.
U.S. Ski and Snowboard announced Friday the finalized rosters for its 2022 U.S. Olympic freestyle and freeski teams, or collective freestyle skiing team, which in addition to Wise, Hall, Vinecki and Kauf feature Aaron Blunck, Colby Stevenson, Alex Ferreira, Mac Forehand, Megan Nick, Justin Schoenefeld, Hanna Faulhaber, Chris Lillis, Hannah Soar, Brita Sigourney, Olivia Giaccio, Maggie Voisin, among several others.
Of the 32 total skiers named, 14 are returnees. The other 18 are set to make their Olympic debuts.
