The 2022 Winter Olympics are just around the corner, which means than an intense period of Olympic qualifying is already underway.

Countries can earn up to three quota spots in both the men's event and the women's event. The qualifying period ends on January 16, 2022, at which time quota spots will be allocated based on the IBSF ranking list from the 2021/22 World Cup season.

U.S. athletes will be nominated to fill those quota spots based primarily on the IBSF world rankings.Quota spots will be allocated at the end of the qualifying period on January 16, 2022 and will be based on two seasons' worth of results. Countries can qualify up to nine athletes , though the number of athletes that can be entered in any event is four. Any nation that qualifies a minimum of two men and two women will be eligible to compete in the new mixed team event.

Kevin Bickner, who won the men's competition at Olympic Trials, is guaranteed a spot on the U.S. team, and at least one other man — to be selected through a set of objective criteria — will join him. Anna Hoffman won the women's competition at Trials, but the U.S. women have not yet secured an Olympic quota spot.Snowboarding

Each discipline within snowboarding has its own quota allocation process, but the qualification period for all disciplines ends on January 16, 2022. Countries can earn up to four quota spots in each discipline, but due to limits on overall roster size, countries may have to make decisions on which spots to fill and which to leave unused. Each nation can have up to 14 men and 14 women but is capped at 26 athletes total.

The U.S. has a selection process in which up to three athletes per discipline can qualify through objective criteria using a combination of world rankings and designated selection events. Up to two athletes per discipline were able to qualify for the Olympic team based on their world ranking, provided they were in the top six as of December 22. Any remaining objective criteria spots were filled by athletes who got a podium result at one of the selection events.
