Alex Tuttle has had quite a ride through the World Cup circuit with 23 World Cup starts since his 2009 debut. His non-stop work ethic has paid off with an X Games silver medal to his name and a steady rise to the top of the rankings. After his first career World Cup podium at Valmalenco, Italy, Tuttle proved he’s going nowhere but up.

Hagan Kearney is a motorcyle loving, metal head skateboarder with a knack for the snowboardcross course. He fell in love with snowboarding at nine years old when a family vacation turned into a family relocation to Telluride, CO.

New to the World Cup circuit in 2012, Kearney proved his mettle with impressive Nor-Am finishes, including a whopping eight top-ten finishes in 2012. His World Cup fifth-place finish at Valmalenco, Italy was proof that this versatile athlete has lots of podiums to clean up in the years to come.

The winter of 2012 was truly a breakout season for young snowboardcross rider Jackie Hernandez, as she won six out of the eight Nor-Ams she entered. She then quickly climbed the ranks of the World Cup circuit, ending with an impressive win at the final World Cup of the season in Valmalenco, Italy. That was enough for U.S. Snowboarding to snatch her up for the 2013 season.

BIOGRAPHY
Pat Holland started riding at the Schweitzer Mountain Resort, but moved to Jackson Hole to ride the legendary Teton backcountry immediately after graduating high school. But it was 2006, after traveling to Torino to watch his brother Nate compete in the Winter Olympics, that he decided to go big. He moved to Squaw Valley the next winter and started the trek toward the Olympics.

Faye Gulini first started riding at Snowbird, UT when she was nine years old. She didn't wait long before taking to the snowboardcross course, racing in her first SBX event at age 10 in Jackson Hole, WY. Five years later Gulini moved to Vail, CO to pursue her Olympic dream. Gulini's ascent to success was then swift, as she landed the results she needed for a spot on the 2010 Olympic snowboardcross team.

Brooke Shaw brings new meaning to "all-around rider," as she’s a threat in the park, pipe and snowboardcross course—she even runs gates. Named to the All-Star Team at Sports Illustrated’s Next Snow All-Stars as a teenager, Shaw still manages to have fun while being competitive against the best in the world.

After earning his first career World Cup podium at the Rosa Khutor Olympic test event (second) in 2013, Alex Deibold scored a bronze medal at his first Olympic appearance at Sochi in 2014. 

Deibold has two more World Cup podium finishes: third at Lake Louise in 2013 and second at La Molina in 2015. 

The list of accomplishments for this two-time Olympic gold medalist speaks for itself. In 2006 Wescott solidified his spot in snowboardcross history when he became the first man to win Olympic gold in his sport. He repeated the feat in 2010, laying claim to back-to-back Olympic gold medals. Wescott missed the 2014 Sochi Games due to a knee injury, but has his sights set on PyeongChang in 2018.
