Additionally, 19 male and 9 female athletes will represent our NextGen program and development groups in Snowboardcross, Alpine, Para-snowboard, Halfpipe and Slopestyle.

Canadian riders will be looking to build off an outstanding 2015/2016 season, including multiple World Cup, X Games, FIS Junior World Championships, LAAX Open podiums as well as several NorAM titles.
