GB Snowsport are delighted to confirm an 18-athlete travelling squad will represent the nation at this month’s Freestyle World Championships in St. Moritz/Engadin.

The squad, which is the largest ever to represent Britain in a Freestyle World Championships setting, features a roll call of some of the best Freestyle skiers and snowboarders in the world, and a raft of bright young talent making a mark on the world stage across multiple disciplines including eight World Championships stage debutants.

2023 World Champions Mia Brookes (Freestyle Snowboard Slopestyle) and Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale (Team Snowboard Cross) are joined by reigning Junior World Champions Mateo Jeannesson (Individual Moguls) and Txema Mazet-Brown (Freestyle Snowboard Big Air), current 2024/25 Freeski Halfpipe joint-Crystal Globe holder Zoe Atkin, and a host of World Cup podiuming athletes across multiple disciplines.

Opening on Wednesday 19 March with Moguls, the 2025 World Championships run until Sunday 30 March with British representation across Moguls, Ski Cross, Snowboard Cross, Freestyle Snowboard (Big Air. Slopestyle and Halfpipe) and Freeski (Big Air, Slopestyle, and Halfpipe).

Speaking after selections, GB Snowsport Head Coach, Pat Sharples, said:

“This year’s Freestyle World Championships is a huge moment for GB Snowsport, and I’m extremely excited about the depth of talent in the team that’s been selected to compete. Bakuriani 2023 gave us so many incredible moments, and I know everyone around the team is focused on performing to their best and hopefully giving us plenty more memorable moments over the next few weeks.

“It’s great to have a team that combines great experience with youthful promise; everyone selected and all the coaches and support teams behind them deserve huge credit for creating such an exciting and competitive group of athletes.”

Charlotte Bankes (Snowboard Cross) said:

“This has been another tough but positive season, and heading into World Championships I’m really happy with where my form’s at.

“Obviously last time out in Bakuriani was really special, winning the team event alongside Huw, and I’m going to give it my all to make sure this year is another great occasion.

“World Championships are always super competitive, and hopefully that will mean some great racing for the fans, and some good results to look forward to.”

Liam Richards (Freeski Halfpipe) said:

“I’m really proud to have been selected for World Championships and very much looking forward to getting into resort with the rest of the British team.

“I feel like I’ve made real strides with my skiing this year; competing in events like this is a great way to continue to test myself against the best in the world, and I’m excited to get out there, try to put down my best run, and see how far it can take me.”
