Bryer Chalstrom
Palisades Tahoe, California | Active public record: 2022-present | Known for: FWT Junior results, Team Palisades Tahoe, Kirkwood and Palisades freeride clips | Discipline: freeride skiing
Mainline Pocket On Opening Day
The Mainline Pocket at Palisades Tahoe opened under early-season light, chalky snow breaking into tracks as skiers dropped into a tight parade of airs, slashes and landings. Bryer Chalstrom appeared in that Palisades video list, part of a local scene where terrain is never only a venue.
That clip context is the best visual entry point for his profile. Chalstrom is not currently documented through World Cup starts, X Games medals or a major film part. His public record is more local and developmental: Palisades Tahoe, IFSA Junior events, FWT Junior ranking pages, and the kind of freeride footage that moves through resort channels and core ski media before it becomes a full athlete résumé.
Palisades Beside The FWT Name
Freeride World Tour lists Chalstrom as a United States Ski Men rider, 20 years old, with Palisades attached to his profile. That location is important. Palisades Tahoe gives a young freerider steep entrances, wind-affected pockets, rock drops, exposed traverses, fast runouts and a local culture where side hits can become testing grounds.
His public trail also connects him with Team Palisades Tahoe through IFSA and TJFS results. That places his development inside the Tahoe junior freeride system rather than a park-only pathway. The reliable record points toward line choice, fluidity, natural airs, terrain reading and control under exposure, not slopestyle rails or big-air stadium tricks.
Kirkwood Before The 2024 Ranking Sheet
The first strong result marker is the 2023 IFSA TJFS Kirkwood Make-up Junior Regional, completed on March 17, 2023. Freeride World Tour lists Chalstrom fourth in U19 Ski Men, behind Weston DeBoer, Ewan Jedlic and Zenin Quinn, with Jake Hekemian, Kai Murnane and Michael Yoho behind him in the visible top seven.
Kirkwood gives that result useful context. The mountain’s freeride terrain can be direct and unforgiving, with cliff bands, variable landings and enough exposure to punish a hesitant line. A fourth-place junior result there does not make Chalstrom an established pro, but it shows he could put a judged freeride run together inside a serious Tahoe venue.
Sugar Bowl To Palisades In 2024
His FWT Junior profile lists four Americas results from 2024. Chalstrom finished 18th at the 2024 Sugar Bowl IFSA Junior, fifth at the 2024 Palisades Tahoe IFSA Junior, 22nd at the 2024 Palisades IFSA Junior, and 45th at the 2024 Kirkwood IFSA Junior. The same page gives him 905 total points in the Americas ranking.
The fifth place at Palisades Tahoe is the standout number in that sequence. It came on home-region terrain, where local knowledge can help but also raises expectations. The broader 2024 record shows the unevenness typical of junior freeride: one strong result, one mid-pack placement, one deeper finish, and enough starts to keep building event experience.
How Chalstrom Should Be Watched
The correct way to watch Chalstrom is through freeride fundamentals. His clips and results should be judged by line selection, speed management, air placement, sluff awareness, turn shape, landing strength and whether he exits the venue with purpose. That language is different from watching a street skier or a World Cup slopestyle athlete.
For a young freerider, the biggest technical signal is commitment without over-skiing the face. A clean run usually starts before the first air: reading the entry, knowing where speed will build, choosing a feature that fits the snow, then landing with enough direction to continue. Chalstrom’s public record is still early, so those details matter more than any claim about a signature trick.
Tahoe Freeride Instead Of A Sponsor Story
There is not enough reliable public information to list Chalstrom’s sponsors, exact skis, boot setup, outerwear partners or formal coaching staff. The confirmed support structure is competitive rather than commercial: Team Palisades Tahoe in junior result listings, FWT Junior appearances, and Tahoe-area IFSA events.
That limitation should stay visible in the page. A developing freeride skier can have a real profile without a public sponsor roster. In Chalstrom’s case, the useful context is not equipment marketing. It is the Tahoe pathway: Palisades, Sugar Bowl, Kirkwood, junior freeride judging, and repeated starts on venues that demand real mountain decisions.
The Scotty Link Around The Scene
Public social traces around Chalstrom include the #skiforscotty tag, tied to the Scotty Lapp Foundation and Tahoe junior freeride culture. Those posts should be handled carefully because they are not full result sheets, but they do show the community environment around his skiing.
That context matters in Tahoe. Junior freeride is not only rankings. It is coaches, families, local contests, memorial culture, resort crews, weather windows and friends pushing each other toward bigger lines. For a rider like Chalstrom, whose public profile is still forming, that community layer helps explain why his name appears in local edits and junior freeride pages before larger media profiles.
Where The Next Results Should Point
The strongest skipowd.tv tags for Bryer Chalstrom are Palisades Tahoe, Team Palisades Tahoe, IFSA Junior, FWT Junior, Kirkwood, Sugar Bowl, Tahoe Freeride, Mainline Pocket, freeride skiing and junior big-mountain. His page should stay in the emerging freeride category, not park, street or film-led freeskiing.
The safest current endpoint is the 2024 FWT Junior record: fifth at Palisades Tahoe, 18th at Sugar Bowl, 22nd at Palisades, and 45th at Kirkwood, supported by the earlier fourth place at Kirkwood in 2023. Future updates should track new IFSA/FWT results, verified Palisades clips, qualifier entries and any official sponsor or team announcement that expands the profile.
