The Stifel U.S. Ski Team announces the 12 athletes qualified for World Cup Finals in Lillehammer, Norway, March 21-25, 2026. The athletes achieved their spots by ranking in the top 25 in a discipline following the conclusion of the regular FIS Alpine World Cup season or by accumulating more than 500 World Cup points throughout the season. The group consists of 10 women and two men across slalom, giant slalom, super-G and downhill. 

Olympic silver medalist Ryan Cochran-Siegle headlines the men’s team in speed, qualifying in both super-G and downhill. On the tech side, River Radamus qualified in giant slalom and super-G.

Downhill Olympic champion Breezy Johnson highlights the women’s speed team alongside Olympic bronze medalist in the team combined Jackie Wiles. Speed star Lindsey Vonn also qualified in both downhill and super-G, but will not compete due to an injury she sustained at the Olympic Games. 

The women’s tech side is headlined by the winningest alpine skier of all time Mikaela Shiffrin, who won her third Olympic gold medal in the Milano Cortina slalom. Shiffrin has also won eight of nine slalom races this season and clinched the FIS Crystal Globe in slalom in late January. The race for the overall Crystal Globe is tight, and Shiffrin will head into Finals with a 140-point lead and a plan to ski super-G, giant slalom, and slalom. While Shiffrin qualified in GS and slalom by finishing in the top 25 rank of both disciplines, she scored more than 500 World Cup points throughout the season and is eligible to start any event.

The stacked women’s team is also highlighted by Olympic bronze medalist in team combined Paula Moltzan, who will compete in both giant slalom and slalom. Moltzan also had a stand-out season, stepping on the podium five times. 

There is an impressive number of first-time World Cup Finals qualifiers, including Mary Bocock, Keely Cashman and Allison Mollin. All three have shown top performances in speed disciplines this season. 

“We are so proud of the 12 Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes qualified for the 2026 World Cup Finals,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport Anouk Patty. “We know how hard these athletes work all year round to reach this point in their careers and we are positive they will end the World Cup tour on a high note.”
