H2: From Squamish to Team USA

Avery Krumme grew up in Squamish, British Columbia, and made headlines in 2024 when she switched her nationality to represent the United States. At 17, Krumme has already built an impressive junior résumé in freeski slopestyle and big air and has qualified for Milano Cortina 2026.

H3: Early promise and breakthrough results

Krumme first drew attention for her natural ability to spin in all four directions — a skill she developed by age 11. She earned consistent podiums on the Canadian circuit, and the 2023-24 season proved a breakout year: two Canada Cup golds and three silvers across events in the Yukon, Sun Peaks and Horseshoe Valley.

Her momentum continued at the 2024 FIS Junior World Championships in Livigno, Italy, where she captured bronze in women’s slopestyle. Krumme then took double gold at Canadian Nationals in Whistler, winning both slopestyle and big air.

H3: Transition to U.S. team and World Cup debut

In 2024 Krumme joined the U.S. Freeski Team’s rookie roster for the 2025-26 season. During the 2024-25 season she earned three NorAm Cup podiums and made her World Cup debut at Stubai, Austria, finishing 20th in slopestyle.

She showed steady improvement across the circuit: sixth in slopestyle at the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix in Aspen and fourth in big air at Steamboat Springs — the best result among American women at that selection series.

H3: Injury comeback and training approach

Krumme has faced a significant injury in her junior career. Rather than derail her progress, it prompted a shift in training: more weight work, focused rehab and intentional time management. Coaches Shonny Charbonneau and Graham Pollock have praised her work ethic, punctuality and dedication to refining technique.

Those adjustments have helped her return stronger and more consistent in competition, laying the groundwork for success on the international stage.

H3: What to watch at Milano Cortina 2026

As Milano Cortina 2026 approaches, Krumme is one of the young freestylers to watch in slopestyle and big air. Her all-direction spins and growing competition experience make her a potential finalist contender as she continues to adapt to World Cup-level fields.
