BIO

Derek Krueger, originally from Cleveland, Ohio, is a talented skier on the Stifel U.S. Ski Team. Along with his busy training schedule, Derek currently takes classes at the University of Utah and takes part in fly fishing and powder skiing. The 2023-24 season was Krueger's first full-time on the World Cup circuit, where he was able to earn valuable experience, earning his first finals appearances. 

Since then, Krueger has been consistently climbing and earned a career-best fourth-place finish this year in Lake Placid. His results this season brought him to Livigno, Italy, for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, where he finished 11th in his debut.
