We had a chance to catch up with Kiernan Mann, a Carrabassett Valley Academy senior who is competing in Youth Men's Slopestyle and Rail Jam at this year's 2023 USASA National Championship, and learn a little more about this Maine Mountain Series ripper. Kiernan, a Rangeley, Maine native, decided to attend CVA in 2019 after skiing at his home mountain Saddleback and as he wanted to take his skiing to the next level. Since then, Kiernan has been working his way up in Maine Mountain Series competitions and in the past two years has competed on The Futures Tour finishing 1st and 2nd in Youth Men's Slopestyle at the Park City and Mount Snow Futures Tour stops in 2023.

Prior season National Champions or Overall Champions are not guaranteed positions and must re-qualify each season via one of the below methods.
AGE CLASS QUALIFICATION
REGIONAL CHAMPION: Each sanctioned USASA series is allocated one National Championships qualification spot per gender/age/discipline to be awarded to their Regional Series Champion. Competitors compete within their respective age groups in their home series for the coveted series championships position.
