The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame inducted eight individuals during a four-day celebration at Snowbird Resort in Utah, April 8-11. The 2025 Hall of Fame class includes athletes and contributors to the snow sports industry, including four U.S. Ski & Snowboard alumni. U.S. Ski & Snowboard is a separate organization from the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame. 

The U.S. Ski & Snowboard alumni include cross country Olympic gold medalist Kikkan Randall, eight-time Paralympic medalist Nancy Gustafson, world champion ski jumper Lindsey Van and Emmy-winning Olympic commentator and snowboard pioneer Todd Richards. All four athletes remain involved with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, whether through commentating, serving on the organization’s board, or working with the next generation of athletes on and off the snow.

“The inductees into this year’s Hall of Fame shaped their respective sports in more ways than one,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “It was an honor to see them formally recognized in Utah, and we are grateful for the impact they’ve had across generations and the ways they continue to give back.”

“It’s such an honor to be joining so many of my heroes in the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame,” said Olympic champion Kikkan Randall. “I feel so much gratitude to play a part in the circle of inspiration, knowing we get to continue building on such a powerful legacy of snow sports. I was fortunate to be joined by my family there to celebrate and my longtime teammate Liz Stephen. My sincere appreciation goes out to all the amazing people who helped along my journey. This celebration is as much for them as it is for me!”

2025 Hall of Fame Inductees:

Chris Cushing (Franconia, NH) – Cushing, the principal of mountain planning at the SE Group, has been at the forefront of designing mountain resorts across the United States for more than four decades, including Deer Valley and Steamboat Springs.

Raelene Davis (Salt Lake City, UT) – A longtime industry leader and one of the most influential figures in Utah’s ski industry, Davis has actively worked with Ski Utah for more than 40 years, helping grow participation and inclusivity in the sport. 

Nancy Gustafson (Park City, UT) – An eight-time Paralympic medalist in Para alpine skiing, Gustafson is one of the most decorated Para alpine athletes of her generation. She works as a dosimetrist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City and continues to give back to the adaptive community.

Hugh Harley (Burlington, VT) – A longtime employee of Rossignol, Harley helped shape the company’s U.S. market presence and supported hundreds of athletes in achieving World Cup podiums, World Championship titles and Olympic medals.

Kikkan Randall (Anchorage, AK) – Randall was the first American to win an Olympic gold medal alongside Jessie Diggins, the first American woman to win a Nordic World Championship medal, the first to win a World Championship gold in a team event, the first American woman to win a World Cup race and was the first American woman to ever win a World Cup discipline Crystal Globe. She remains actively involved in the Alaska ski community, works as a commentator for FIS World Cup events and the Olympics and serves on the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Board of Directors.

Todd Richards (Paxton, MA) – An Emmy-winning commentator and influential figure in snowboarding, Richards helped shape the sport of snowboarding. He won multiple titles during his competitive career, including at the US Open and X Games, and was part of the first Olympic snowboarding team at the 1998 Nagano Games. He currently commentates for NBC during major snowboarding events, including the Winter Olympics. 

Douglas Pringle (Orangevale, CA) – Pringle launched more than 40 adaptive learn-to-ski programs and played a pivotal role in Disabled Sports USA, Ski Spectacular and the Paralympic movement, ensuring athletes received the same resources and recognition as Olympians. 

Lindsey Van (Park City, UT) – A pioneer in ski jumping, Van won the first-ever women’s World Championship title in 2009 and helped lead the inclusion of women’s ski jumping at the highest level of sport – the Olympic Winter Games. Her achievements include 40 international podiums and 16 national titles.

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.”

U.S. Ski & Snowboard, the National Governing Body for skiing and snowboarding in the United States, in partnership with the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, officially announces the integration of the U.S. Para Nordic Ski Team into its program. The move expands the organization’s portfolio to 11 teams and marks another major step in advancing Paralympic sport.

Para nordic will become part of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, which includes alpine, cross country, freeski, freestyle moguls, freestyle aerials, nordic combined, Para alpine and ski jumping. The organization also oversees the Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team and Toyota U.S. Para Snowboard Team. 

The decorated U.S. Para Nordic Team has been managed by the USOPC dating back to 2014,  and includes both men and women athletes with physical disabilities competing in cross country skiing and biathlon. The program is the most successful Para nordic team in the world, featuring a mix of veteran champions and rising talent. Team USA secured a total of 10 gold medals in nordic skiing at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Games – the most ever for the U.S. in the sport.

Leading the roster is Oksana Masters, the most decorated winter Paralympian in history. Masters has earned 24 Paralympic medals, including 13 gold, across both the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games, most recently adding four gold medals in Milano Cortina. She is joined by eight-time Paralympic medalist Jake Adicoff, seven-time Paralympic medalist Sydney Peterson, who added four medals in Milano Cortina, and 11-time Paralympic medalist Kendall Gretsch, who, like Masters, competes in both the Summer and Winter Games.

“Milano Cortina 2026 was an incredible moment for U.S. Paralympic nordic skiers, who came together to deliver 15 medals and show the strength and depth of both the athletes and the program,” said Masters. “As we look ahead to joining U.S. Ski & Snowboard, it’s exciting to think about the future and the added visibility and resources that can come with it. We’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished to date, and we’re motivated to carry that legacy forward as we begin a new chapter with U.S. Ski & Snowboard.”

“Bringing Para nordic under the U.S. Ski & Snowboard umbrella is incredibly exciting for our organization,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, President & CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “As the best Para nordic team in the world, they will be fully integrated into our 11-team structure and supported year-round by our world-class staff. We look forward to working together to support their goals and continue building upon their success on the world stage, and we thank the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee for their partnership in this transition.”

"The integration of the U.S. Para Nordic Team into U.S. Ski & Snowboard marks an important moment for these great athletes and our respective organizations, but also for the future of winter Paralympic sport in the United States,” said USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland. “The success at Milano Cortina 2026 proved what is possible when world-class athletes are supported over many years in their efforts to achieve greatness. We believe this transition will build on that collective commitment to supporting Paralympic sport with the resources, structure, and ambition that these athletes deserve."

The move builds on U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s continued expansion of Para sport within the organization. In 2024, the federation integrated the Para snowboard and Para alpine teams. Since then, both teams have achieved immense success on the world stage, including Para snowboard winning the Nations Cup throughout the last two seasons and winning eight medals at the 2026 Paralympic Games—three more medals than the Beijing Games in 2022. 

The teams are led by some of the most accomplished athletes in Para sport, including the most decorated Para snowboarder in history Brenna Huckaby, four-time Paralympic medalist and two-time Para snowboard champion Noah Elliott, and three-time Paralympic alpine skiing medalist Andrew Kurka. They are joined by a rising generation of talent, including Para snowboard athlete and recent Paralympic champion Kate Delson, highlighting the growing depth and strength across both teams.

With the integration, the U.S. Para Nordic Team will benefit from U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s full organizational infrastructure. By bringing the program under the same high-performance and commercial umbrella as its other national teams, U.S. Ski & Snowboard will provide expanded resources both on and off the snow.

This weekend, the best freestyle moguls skiers in the country flocked to the Toyota U.S. Championships in Palisades Tahoe for the final event of the season. The Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete shone, with Kylie Kariotis, Charlie Mickel, Kasey Hogg and Asher Michel taking home the U.S. Champion titles. 

The event began with men’s and women’s moguls qualifying, where Alli Macuga and Charlie Mickel took the top spot heading into the finals. The entire week brought warm summer weather, but the athletes took the challenge in stride. In the women’s moguls finals, Kariotis put down the winning run, followed closely by teammate Hogg. They were joined on the podium by Ava Keenan of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail. On the men’s side, Mickel prevailed in a tough field, earning his third U.S. Championship title. Michel finished in second, followed by Jackson Crockett in third. 

The action in California concluded with the ever-unpredictable dual moguls. In the women’s event, Hogg took the honors, finishing first and earning her second podium of the weekend. Evelyn Harris finished second, followed by Dory Michaud in third, both from Park City Ski & Snowboard. 

“It’s so exciting to have won the duals national title this year and take second in singles,” said Hogg. “The course was really challenging, and I’m proud of myself for rising to the occasion. The Stifel U.S. Ski Team moguls team is so strong right now, and I’m glad I was able to represent that this week. Coming off of my strongest season yet, this was the best finish I could have asked for!”

Michel also earned his second podium of the weekend, winning the men’s duals. Camden Lewis of Gould Academy took second place and Jiah Cohen from Ski and Snowboard Club Vail rounded out the podium. 

The Stifel HERoic Cup, an award given to the top-performing women athletes in U.S. World Cup events, was awarded six times throughout the 2025-26 season across six ski disciplines. Funded by Stifel, the title sponsor of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, the Stifel HERoic Cup is a cornerstone of U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s HERoic initiative, dedicated to advancing and empowering women in sport, both on and off the snow. 

The Stifel HERoic Cup, launched in the 2024-25 season, was awarded to the top-performing woman athlete on the FIS Alpine World Cup circuit. Stifel chose to expand the scope for the 2025-26 season to highlight excellence in women’s skiing across multiple disciplines with a $10,000 prize purse for the winner of each Cup. 

“Congratulations to this year’s Stifel HERoic Cup winners across all six disciplines for their remarkable performances,” said Ron Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO, Stifel. “Throughout this Olympic season, we’ve been inspired by each of these female athletes and so many others competing with the best in the world on snow. Their dedication, hard work and pursuit of excellence embody the spirit of winter sport and are a true reflection of Where Success Meets Success. We look forward to watching them continue to shine in the seasons ahead.”

Eight U.S. World Cup events were eligible for the Stifel HERoic Cup throughout the 2025-26 Olympic season across alpine, cross country, freeski halfpipe, freeski slopestyle, freestyle aerials and freestyle moguls. Every event was an Olympic qualifying event, apart from cross country’s Stifel Lake Placid Finals, which took place after the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team alpine program has announced key leadership updates ahead of the 2026-27 season, naming Sasha Rearick as The Borgen Family Alpine Director and Paul Epstein as Men’s Head Tech Coach.

The Borgen Family has generously committed funds supporting the Alpine Director position. 

“We are thrilled to bring on Sasha Rearick as The Borgen Family Alpine Director and Paul Epstein as the Men’s Head Tech Coach,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport Anouk Patty. “Both have demonstrated throughout their careers an ability to build strong foundations and cohesive team environments that will benefit our athletes. We are committed to being the best alpine team in the world with an even greater focus on development, and I’m confident these two will help us get there.”

Rearick returns to the organization after more than two decades in various coaching roles from 2002 to 2021. During his tenure, he progressed from strength and conditioning and development positions to head men’s coach, a role he held for 10 years. Across multiple Olympic cycles, Rearick led his athletes to 15 Olympic and World Championship medals.

As The Borgen Family Alpine Director, Rearick will lead the vision for the alpine program, guiding its strategy, culture and athlete development pathways from grassroots through the elite level. Rearick will oversee the structure, ensuring a sustainable model that supports excellence at every level.

Most recently, Rearick served as Alpine Performance Director at APEX2100 International Ski Academy, where he helped grow the program from 33 athletes to a full U12-through-World Cup pipeline. During Rearick’s time leading the program, the academy produced seven Olympic qualifications, four World Junior Championship medalists and helped eight athletes earn spots on national Europa Cup and World Cup teams.

“Coming home to lead this program is both an honor and a challenge I’m deeply motivated by,” said Rearick. “Across the United States, there is real enthusiasm for ski racing, and now it’s about channeling that into belief and action. From athletes just starting out to those competing for World Cup podiums, we will build a system grounded in process, clarity and daily habits.

Epstein joins the Stifel U.S. Ski Team after a successful career developing athletes through both domestic and international pathways. He began coaching at Green Mountain Valley School before founding Global Racing, an elite independent program he led for the last 13 years. Over the past nine seasons, Global Racing helped 20 different athletes achieve World Cup points and return to or qualify for national teams, including Belgium’s Sam Maes, who has recorded multiple World Cup top-10 finishes and ended the 2025-26 season with a career-best giant slalom ranking of 12th.

“I’m looking forward to entering a new chapter of my coaching career,” said Epstein. “For many years, I’ve worked to support U.S. skiing from the outside. Now, being directly involved in the men’s World Cup tech team’s progress is incredibly motivating.”

Epstein highlighted culture as a key priority moving forward.

“My initial goal is to build a strong, cohesive environment with our staff and athletes,” he said. “When everyone understands and commits to that culture, it creates consistency—and ultimately leads to stronger individual performances. We have tremendous talent on this team, and now it’s about creating the environment that allows everyone to perform at their highest level.”

A full staff announcement will be made this fall.

At just 16 years old, Lily Dhawornvej became the youngest rider in history to claim the FIS women's slopestyle Crystal Globe, taking home the honor after Sunday's slopestyle World Cup finals were canceled due to inclement weather.

Dhawornvej's path to the Crystal Globe was a season-long display on consistency against a stacked international slopestyle field. Across three World Cup events, she stacked up results when it mattered most, earning her first two career World Cup podiums with a second place in Laax and a third place in Flachau, along with a ninth place finish on home snow in Aspen.

Those performances earned her 169 points, which were enough to top the overall standings.

What makes Dhawornvej’s Crystal Globe even more remarkable is how quickly it came. The Colorado native's World Cup slopestyle debut came in January 2025 and she has rapidly climbed from a promising rookie to a confident mainstay in only a year.

Dhawarnvej earned experience on the World's biggest stage at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, earning a spot in the coveted women's slopestyle final and ultimately finishing 11th.

After her Olympic debut, Dhawornvej became Junior World Champion in Calgary (CAN) in early March before returning to the World Cup circuit.

This accomplishment is even more special for Dhawornvej, who beat out many of her idols, including Anna Gasser, Kokomo Murase and Mia Brookes, to earn the title.

“All these girls that I’m competing with, I’ve looked up to for so long," said Dhawornvej. "It’s been super cool to ride with them.”

Dhawornvej is the first American to win the honor since Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team teammate Julia Marino won the slopestyle Crystal Globe in 2023.

With a Crystal Globe already on her shelf, Dhawornvej enters the next Olympic cycle looking to build as a legitimate medal threat. If the 2025–26 season was her breakout season, the next few years could define her legacy.

For now, though, one thing is clear. Lily Dhawornvej isn’t the future of slopestyle.

She's already here.

The Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team closed out the 2025–26 FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup season Saturday in Mont-Sainte-Anne, where Bri Schnorrbusch led the American results with a strong fourth-place finish in the women’s final.

A 2026 Olympian, Schnorrbusch raced with veteran composure through the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds to earn a spot in her first career World Cup big final. The 20-year-old was in the mix for the podium before taking a fall midway down the course, but her breakout performance still secured a career-best World Cup result.

Schnorrbusch's 2026 Olympic teammates Stacy Gaskill and Hanna Percy joined her in the final, taking 13th and 16th on the day, respectively.

On the men's side, the Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team failed to reach the quarterfinal round, with Nathan Pare, Theodore McLemore, Jake Vedder and Tyler Hamel all falling in their respective 1/8 final. Pare finished 22nd, Mclemore 26th, Vedder 27th and Hamel 32rd.

This race marks the end of the 2025-26 FIS snowboard cross World Cup season. The team heads back stateside for some well-deserved rest and relaxation before ramping up summer training.

The Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team capped off the 2025–26 halfpipe season in style, landing three athletes on the podium. Maddie Mastro and Maddy Schaffrick went 1–2 in the women’s final while Chase Blackwell secured third place for the men.

Three-time Olympian Maddie Mastro claimed her second career World Cup victory with a statement second-run that earned a score of 85.00. After a disappointing Olympic result, the win serves as a major confidence boost for the rider who is constantly pushing women's progression in the halfpipe. “This season had a lot of lows and a lot of highs," said the 26-year-old, "i'm proud that I made it out on a high." 

Olympian Maddy Schaffrick took the top spot early on in competition with a first run sore of 71.75 that held strong until Mastro's winning run, but was high enough to still take second place on the day. This marks Schaffrick's second World Cup podium of the season, following a runner-up result at the Aspen Toyota U.S. Grand Prix in January. 

Spain’s Queralt Castellet rounded out the women's podium in third, American Kinsley White took seventh and Olympian Bea Kim took tenth after a nasty toe edge fall at the end of her second run.

In the men's final, 2026 Olympian Chase Blackwell delivered a strong first run that earned a massive score of 88.75. Known for going huge, Blackwell's amplitude and trick selection was rewarded by the judges and held strong in podium position throughout the remainder of the competition. Blackwell's third-place finish marks his second career World Cup podium and first since 2023, , making for an exciting and rewarding end to the season for the athlete who's always in the mix and knocking on the door of the podium. 

Japan's Yuto Totsuka took the victory and Australia's Valentino Guseli finished second.

2022 Olympian Lucas Foster landed the run of his life in his second attempt, an exciting and well-deserved feat for the Telluride native who narrowly missed making the 2026 Olympic Winter Games roster. In the same boat as Foster, American Ryan Wachendorfer put down a solid second run but both were unable to crack into the 80s, ending the day in sixth and seventh, respectively.

Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team's Levko Fedorowycz qualified into the final in second place, but the 21-year-old was unable to put down a run to match his breakout qualifying performance, ultimately taking 8th on the day. Teammate and three-time Olympian Chase Josey's score of 72.75 was good enough for tenth.

After an intense and exhausting halfpipe World Cup season, the Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team returns to the states for some well-deserved rest and relaxation before ramping up summer training.
