Meet The Five American Skiers That Just Qualified for The Freeride World Tour

The Freeride World Tour has wrapped up for the 2026 season, but hopeful skiers are already thinking about the circuit’s upcoming season, particularly those who punched their 2027 tickets.

Among the crowd, there are five new skiers from the U.S. in the field.

To get there, they had to navigate the Qualifiers and the Challengers, two circuits that feed into freeride’s pro-level competitions.

This is who you can keep your eye on next winter.

The Newcomers

Hannah Baldwin

In the Challengers, Hannah Baldwin proved consistent, notching a first and second place. Don’t just take it from us, though—here’s Baldwin, a former Junior World Champion, doing her thing.

Delila Quinn

Delila Quinn fared similarly well across the Challengers, with two podiums under her belt. At the second event, she took first, lacing an aggressive line with a well-calculated, lofty backflip. Unsurprisingly, she throws down outside of competitions, too.

Kai Morgan

Kai Morgan’s big win came at the first Challenger event in Whitewater, British Columbia. He opted for a classic freeride approach, hucking huge cliffs and stomping them like nobody’s business. Doubles are also part of the Morgan program.

Nate Pruzan

Nate Pruzan, like the rest of the crew, stood out in the Challengers. You might be more likely to remember him, though, for his 360 off the second platform of Whistler’s Air Jordan—the famed double stager visible from the base of the Peak Express. With stunts like that in his back pocket, he’ll be right at home on the Freeride World Tour.

Tyler Curle

Last but not least is Tyler Curle, the Lake Tahoe local, real ripper, and employee of Moment Skis. Here’s Curle throwing down at Kicking Horse, British Columbia.

The Full 2027 FWT U.S. Roster

In 2027, the newly qualified skiers will join the pros who, thanks to strong performances on the Freeride World Tour, already had their invitations on lock. Among their ranks are Toby Rafford and Ross Tester, who placed second and third, respectively. 

Now, for the entire cast of Americans.
