U.S. Ski & Snowboard has officially announced the six athletes who have accepted their nominations and been named to the 2026-27 Toyota U.S. Para Snowboard Team roster across all classifications and disciplines.
Headlining the Para snowboard circuit this season is four-time Paralympic medalist and 2025-26 snowboard cross, banked slalom and overall FIS Crystal Globe winner Noah Elliott. His 2025-26 season accolades include 11 World Cup podiums, six World Cup wins and two Paralympic medals (one gold, one silver). Kate Delson and Brenna Huckaby also had incredible success, with Delson winning a gold and silver and Huckaby a bronze. Jackie Hamwey is a new name to celebrate on the team this season, making her Paralympic debut in 2026 and taking her maiden World Cup podium.
“This team is building a legacy. These athletes have earned the men’s and women’s Nations Cups for the last five years along with multiple Globes across classifications,” said John Farra, U.S. Ski & Snowboard Para Sport Director. “With new faces alongside veterans, I’m excited to see this group build on their success and continue to push the sport forward.”
The 2026-27 World Cup circuit begins in the familiar “icebox” in Landgraaf, Netherlands, Nov. 26-27, 2026. After a break for the holidays and training at home in the U.S., the team has five additional stops in Europe and North America, including the Toyota Para Snowboard Cup in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, before the 2027 FIS Para Snowboard World Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada at the end of March.
