The U.S. men’s freeski slopestyle team has its first member for PyeongChang.
Nick Goepper qualified for his second Olympic team on Sunday as the U.S. selection events start to draw to a close.
Goepper, who grew up learning to ski in Indiana, was on the podium earlier this year at two of the first three selection events for the ski slopestyle team, which enabled him to meet objective criteria for Olympic qualifying. Though he finished just eighth in the first of two Olympic qualifiers being held Sunday at Mammoth Mountain, he was able to secure his spot on the team because no other Americans finished on the podium.
