2025-26 U.S. Alpine Ski Team Announced

U.S. Ski & Snowboard has officially announced the 49 athletes named to the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team for the 2025-26 season.

Returning to the roster are some of the sport’s most accomplished names, including the winningest alpine skier of all time, two-time Olympic champion and eight-time world champion Mikaela Shiffrin, three-time Olympic medalist and 82-time World Cup winner Lindsey Vonn, 2022 Olympic super-G silver medalist Ryan Cochran-Siegle, two-time world champion Breezy Johnson, and World Championship bronze medalists Lauren Macuga and Paula Moltzan.

The upcoming 2025-26 World Cup schedule is set to be one of the most thrilling yet, featuring 20 women’s World Cups and 19 men’s World Cups on the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup calendar. The highlight of the year will be the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, Feb. 6-22, where the women will compete in Cortina, Italy and the men in Bormio, Italy.

The World Cup tour kicks off in Sölden, Austria Oct. 25-26, with the traditional opening giant slalom, before moving north to Levi, Finland for men’s and women’s slalom events. Later in the fall, North American fans will have the chance to cheer on U.S. athletes on home snow in Colorado, including the inaugural Stifel Copper Cup presented by United Airlines at Copper Mountain, Nov. 27-30 featuring both men’s and women’s races, followed by the men at the legendary Stifel Birds of Prey in Beaver Creek, Dec. 4-7.

“This is a determined group of athletes, fully prepared to compete at the highest level as we head into an Olympic season,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport Anouk Patty. “Their commitment—both in summer training at the USANA Center of Excellence powered by iFIT and on the snow—has set the stage for what promises to be an exciting season.”
