Goldberg Closes Chapter on a Decorated Career

After more than a decade competing at the highest level of alpine skiing, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Jared Goldberg has announced his retirement from professional ski racing.

A two-time Olympian and five-time World Championships team member, Goldberg leaves the sport with an impressive resume that includes 194 World Cup starts and a World Cup podium. Known for his consistency in the speed disciplines and his steady presence on the team, Goldberg has been a cornerstone of the U.S. men’s alpine speed program for over a decade.

Goldberg was born in Boston, but grew up skiing at Snowbird Resort in Utah, and made his World Cup debut in 2012, quickly establishing himself as a reliable competitor in downhill and super-G. Over the years, he delivered seven top-10 finishes, but reached the top with a breakthrough podium in Val Gardena in 2024—just .01 off of first place—marking a career milestone and solidifying his place among the world’s best. He also turned heads on one of the sport’s most iconic stages, finishing fourth at the famed Hahnenkammrennen in 2023.

Beyond the results, Goldberg earned a reputation as a respected teammate and leader. His grit, humor and work ethic made a lasting impact on the team, helping to shape the culture of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team speed group.

“Jared and I spent 13 seasons racing and rooming together, sharing plenty of highs, lows and some damn fun times,” said Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Bryce Bennett. “We worked together to figure out this crazy dynamic sport, which I’ll always appreciate. I’ll miss his humor, competitive spirit and having one of my best friends on the road. I’m excited to see what he does next and I’m looking forward to spending some time together outside of skiing, hopefully with flip-flops on.”

Throughout his career, Goldberg represented the United States on the sport’s biggest stages, including the Olympic Winter Games in 2014 and 2018 and five World Championships (2015, 2017, 2021, 2023, 2025).

As he steps away from competition, Goldberg leaves behind a legacy defined by his commitment to the sport and his love of American ski racing. His journey from development athlete to World Cup veteran serves as an example to the next generation of U.S. ski racers.

Looking ahead, Goldberg plans to spend time in his home state of Utah with friends and family and to enjoy a slower pace of life, including pursuing his passions of kiteboarding, windfoiling and golfing. Plus, he’s working on a degree from the University of Utah.  

“I’m excited to switch gears,” said Goldberg. “I’ve loved the people I’ve met all over the world and everyone I’ve had the chance to race against on the White Circus. I’m looking forward to decompressing and spending time at my second home, the ocean, catching waves.”
