The sun was shining down on the Courchevel track once again, making way for a strong day of super-G racing. Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team athlete River Radamus, fresh off his fourth place finish in the alpine combined, once again led the way for the men’s team, placing 16th from bib 34.

“This was definitely more of a speed skiers super-G, but mindset was the same: I am always skiing to win and be on the podium,” said Radamus. “I felt like I skied with the right approach and attacked as hard as I could.”

The Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team dominated the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships team event, taking home their first ever parallel gold medal and the team’s second medal of the World Champs. The team was made up of athletes Nina O’Brien, Paula Moltzan, Tommy Ford and River Radamus for the starters, and Katie Hensien and Luke Winters as substitutes.

The U.S. Alpine Ski Team made big strides during the 2018-19 season. With “winning at every level” Alpine Director Jesse Hunt’s mantra, the Team had success at FIS Ski World Championships, World Cup, and Junior World Championship levels.  

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team men recently visited over 150 U.S. service members in Garmisch during the Garmisch, Germany super-G World Cup race series. The event hosted at the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort set up tables, chairs and a large American flag bringing the U.S. spirit to the alps.

The men’s first Audi FIS Ski World Cup race of the 2023-24 season, the annual giant slalom in Sölden, Austria, was canceled due to high winds after 47 racers. Before the final call was made, four Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team men sat in the top 30. 

Jett Seymour threw down his first point-earning performance in Val d'Isere, France on Sunday, Dec. 15, moving up through the ranks after barely squeaking into the top 30 in the second run, to finish the day in 21st. 

Tommy Ford had an incredible first Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup race of the season in Soelden, Austria with a sixth-place finish in the stacked men's alpine field. First run, Ford finished in 26th place but on his second run he clocked the fastest time in the field and is ending the weekend in Soelden with an overall top 10.

Teammate River Radamus finished with a 26th overall finish. Ryan Cochran-Siegle was 31st in his first run and just missed the flip for run two. Isaiah Nelson skied to 45th place in the first run at his first World Cup.
