Send Kaiya to 2023 Freeride Junior World Champs!

Donation protected
I would love to start off by saying thank you to all who have supported me to travel to the 2021 as well as 2022 Freeride Junior World Championships! Traveling to compete internationally has been the adventure of a lifetime. When I began competing four years ago, I had no idea I would get to where I am today! I am pleased to announce that I have been invited to the 2023 Freeride Junior World Championships (FJWC) to be held in Kappl, Austria at the end of January.

Now more than ever, it is extremely important to me to attend the Freeride Junior World Championships 2023. This is my last year to be eligible for the event and for any other junior level competitions. To recap, I attended the FJWC held in Verbier, Switzerland in 2021 where I placed fourth, as the highest ranking female American. Last season, I attended the 2022 FJWC in Kappl, Austria where I placed third. I also had success nationally, placing second in the 2022 North American Championships held in Big Sky, Montana.

My goal is to keep improving this season so I would love to attend the FJWC and finally be crowned the Freeride Junior World Champion! I worked hard all last winter and stayed active through the offseason. I know that hard work pays off and has proven itself in the form of an invite to the 2023 FJWC. I can’t wait to be on the mountain with the best of the best junior athletes, and snowboard with a group of ripping females from all over the world!

I am reaching out again for help to attend the FJWC 2023. The event will be held January 23-26th, 2023. I realize that I can not do this without the support of my family, friends and coaches. Please know, I have been blown away by the amount of support that I have received the past two years and couldn't be more appreciative. It is difficult to come back and ask for support again and understand that it might not be possible for you to donate again this year. If you can find it in your heart to support me again, I would be so thankful. If a donation is not possible please cheer for me this January 23-26th. I can not do this without all of you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about and follow my adventures! Just taking the time to read this reminds me of how much love and support I have from the Coastside, Tahoe, and around the world! Your support really means everything to me and I could not be more grateful for the people in my life and the communities I belong to!

Love, Kaiya Hanepen
