USASA Nationals 2025 wrap — every division gold, age by age

The 2025 USASA National Championships wrapped at Copper Mountain on April 9 after twelve days of competition. The snowboard side ran March 29 through April 3; freeski took over April 5 through April 9.

Below: gold medalists for the divisions that matter most for development tracking — Open Class (the elite tier), Junior 17-18 (the U.S. team feeder), Youth 15-16, Breaker 13-14, Menehune 11-12, and Grommet 9-10. The Senior, Master, and Legend divisions ran too — coverage is on the event pages but isn't the focus here.

Snowboard halfpipe

Notable: Ava Lilly takes the Open Class Women's halfpipe title at 14 years old — well below the typical age for the Open tier. She also dominated the Futures Tour halfpipe series this season with multiple wins. A name to watch when Rev Tour halfpipe rolls around.

Snowboard slopestyle

Cross-class double: Sadie Rifkin won BOTH Grommet (9-10) Girls AND Menehune (11-12) Girls slopestyle. Verified same athlete (`usasa_414732`). It's the kind of result you only see when an unusually advanced young rider competes both up and within her age class.

Snowboard rail jam

Snowboard boardercross

Family ties: Drew Moryn (Open Women) and Reese Moryn (Youth Girls) — the Moryns took home two Snowboard BX titles between them. Grayson Petraska (Menehune Boys) and Ainsley Petraska (Grommet Girls) — same pattern. Multi-sibling families are common in USASA but rarely both win on the same weekend.

Freeski halfpipe

Sibling success: Indra Brown (Open Women) and James Brown (Menehune Boys) — both Browns walked away with halfpipe national titles, in different age classes.

Freeski slopestyle

Multi-discipline trio: Maya Broadbent (Menehune Girls) and James Brown (Menehune Boys) BOTH won halfpipe AND slopestyle in their divisions. Kiwi Y. Huang (Grommet Boys) did the same thing one age class down. Three young freeskiers showing real cross-discipline range.

Freeski rail jam

Double Open champion: Lainey Steen won BOTH Slopestyle AND Rail Jam in Freeski Open Class Women — two Open national titles in one Nationals. That's a rare result at the Open tier.

Freeski ski cross

Loge siblings: Liam Loge (Junior 17-18 Men) and Elya Loge (Youth 15-16 Girls) — both Loges, both ski cross national champions on the same day. Names that match across divisions and ski cross expertise — likely siblings, though we can't verify family relations from results data alone.

Multi-discipline gold medalists

A look at every athlete who took more than one national title at the 2025 Nationals:

• Sadie Rifkin (SB Female) — Grommet Slopestyle + Menehune Slopestyle (cross-class!)
• Sienna Salvatierra (FK Junior Women) — halfpipe + ski cross
• Lainey Steen (FK Open Women) — slopestyle + rail jam
• James Brown (FK Menehune Boys) — halfpipe + slopestyle
• Maya Broadbent (FK Menehune Girls) — halfpipe + slopestyle
• Kiwi Y. Huang (FK Grommet Boys) — halfpipe + slopestyle

Six athletes with multiple national titles. Sadie Rifkin's cross-class double — same discipline at two different age classes — is the most unusual result of the bunch.

What this means for the development pipeline

A few patterns to note:

1. Open Class winners are mostly NOT names you'd see on Rev Tour podiums. That's not unusual — Rev Tour and USASA Nationals serve overlapping but different cohorts. Many top Rev Tour riders skip USASA Nationals because it conflicts with World Cup, Grand Prix, or Continental Cup obligations. So Nationals Open Class champions are often the strongest USASA-focused athletes, who may or may not transition to the qualifier-tier circuits next season.

1. Ava Lilly winning Open Class Women's halfpipe at 14 is the kind of result that tends to mean something. Open Class is the no-age-limit division — a 14-year-old beating the field is the loudest signal a young halfpipe rider can send. Combined with her Futures Tour wins this winter, the next-step question is whether she's ready for Rev Tour halfpipe in 2025-26.

1. The young divisions (Grommet, Menehune, Breaker) are statistically noisy but emotionally meaningful. A 9-year-old winning a national title doesn't predict an Olympic future, but the kids who keep showing up — and keep winning — have something. Multi-discipline winners at young ages are especially worth tracking.
