DILLON \u2014 Several Summit County locals took major steps within the U.S. Ski Team program with the association\u2019s announcement earlier this week of the nominees for rookie and pro teams for the 2020-21 season.<\/a><\/p>\n

Team Summit skier Jenna Riccomini<\/a> of Breckenridge was nominated at age 16 for the U.S. freeski rookie team for slopestyle and big air. On the men\u2019s side, Breckenridge native Jaxin Hoerter, 19, was promoted to the men\u2019s halfpipe pro team after a strong 2019-20 winter season that included a debut at X Games in Aspen in January<\/a>. And Deven Fagan, 18, joined his twin brother, Kiernan Fagan<\/a>, on the slopestyle and big air pro team.<\/p>\n

Speaking from her family\u2019s home in State College, Pennsylvania, Riccomini said the nomination to the U.S. Ski Team on the heels of her stellar season on the Rev Tour and Futures circuit was a dream come true.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a new chapter,\u201d Riccomini said. \u201cI\u2019m moving on, moving to the next level. It\u2019s kind of been this whole thing that I\u2019ve wanted this for the past year, and it finally happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
