Maddy Schaffrick completed her return to competition after a decade away with her Olympic debut in Italy. Her comeback began with a career-best third-place finish at the 2024 World Cup season opener in China—an extraordinary result considering her previous World Cup start came in 2015. She followed with her Snow League debut in Aspen, narrowly missing advancement but gaining momentum as Season One continues.
A member of the U.S. Snowboard Halfpipe Pro Team, Schaffrick has returned to the spotlight stronger than ever, proving her time away only sharpened her edge.
