Charlie Reaches National Finals
Huge congratulations to Charlie for an incredible performance at the IFSA Freeride U15 3★ National Competition this past weekend at Palisades, Tahoe!
Competing at the national level for the first time, Charlie battled through tough conditions in his qualifying run on Friday, where a sudden storm wiped out visibility for the last five skiers. Despite the challenge, he was the only one of those skiers to stay on his feet and advance to Sunday’s finals.
Starting the finals in 28th place, Charlie threw down an amazing run, landing him 8th in the final run and 15th overall after averaging his scores from both runs. His performance this weekend has earned him a national ranking of 41st and an invitation to the IFSA U15 National Freeride Championships!

This season, Charlie has already proven himself with two regional (2★) competitions, placing 4th and 9th, but this was his first time competing at the national level—an incredible achievement! We can’t wait to see what’s next for him.
Way to go, Charlie!
