After an 18 month vacancy, USSA names Todd Schirman as the new USSA Freestyle Program Director. Todd was most recently the Mogul Coach of the US Freestyle Ski Team, he had resigned this position in May to spend more time locally with his family and then the position was announced for fulfillment and he jumped at the opportunity to lead the USSA Freestyle movement. Todd will become the 5th Program Director in the history of Freestyle Skiing within USSA, originally filled by Ms. Horvitz, then Mr. Chumas, Ms. Harned and most recently Ms. Clark. Todd is supported in his leadership by Ms. Cheryl Pearson as USSA Freestyle Program Manager. Best of luck to Todd and his efforts.
