Ryan Wachendorfer is another member of the well-rounded U.S. Rookie squad, riding everything from slopestyle to big air to halfpipe. 

Wachendorfer began to make noise in 2015 when he scored some solid top-25 finishes on the FIS World Cup and U.S. Grand Prix tours, along with a second-place finish in halfpipe at the U.S. Revolution Tour finale at Mammoth Mountain, CA.

His ascent through the competitive ranks continued in 2016, where he racked up several podium finishes on the Revolution Tour (including a halfpipe win at Mammoth Mountain), a fifth-place finish at the Mammoth Mountain Grand Prix halfpipe event and the USASA national haflpipe title.
