On the final day of the Soldeu World Cup, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Mary Bocock delivered a career-best World Cup result of 11th in the super-G with teammate Keely Cashman close behind in 12th. 

It was another picture-perfect sunny day on the slope. The super-G set was similar to the day prior, so the women were ready to full send and make up in spots where they did not find time the day before. Cashman kicked off the pace for the U.S., landing just outside the top 10 to mark another strong and consistent result for the skier. 

"I wanted a little more today but I am happy with some skiing and its been a great weekend of weather and conditions," said Cashman. 

Then it was Bocock who came down flying. With her classic full-send attitude, she was poised for a strong result and delivered one. Bocock ended up 11th, a new career best.

"I am super excited," said Bocock. "I feel like I improved in sections that I was trying to fix from yesterday so its a fun day." 

The winner of the race was Italian force Sofia Goggia, in second was Germany’s Emma Aicher and Norway’s Kasja Vickoff Lie landed third. Bella Wright was 26th, Tricia Mangan 28th, and Breezy Johnson and Allison Mollin tied for 30th. Haley Cutler and Jackie Wiles landed outside the top 30. 

The women have one more packed speed weekend in Val di Fassa, Italy to end the regular World Cup speed season.

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team men turned in strong performances in Saturday’s World Cup downhill in Garmisch, Germany.  Ryan Cochran‑Siegle led the way in seventh place and teammate Erik Arvidsson wowed to 11th from bib 44, showcasing his grit and speed on the challenging spring-like day.

After two strong downhill training runs Cochran‑Siegle was poised for a good result. He skied smoothly and controlled to secure valuable World Cup points well inside the top 10. 

"It took a little bit to get settled into my run as I was off the mark for the first technical section, but eventually things came together and was able to get to better more committed skiing by the bottom," said Cochran-Siegle. "I want to put it all together from top to bottom but I feel like today was a good day to build consistency back with my downhill skiing."

It was U.S. compatriot Erik Arvidsson who stole the show for the Stifel U.S. Ski Team. Arvidsson has been on the comeback from a knee injury that sidelined him all of the 2024-25 season. After a good result in Kitzbühel, he had the ingredients for another strong day. He skied aggressively to easily fly into 11th, his second-best World Cup result ever and the first time he cracked the top 15 since his injury. 

"I feel like my skiing is really coming together now, and I finally had some consistent time on speed skis to dial in some of the details," said Arvidsson. "It feels good to to see it show up in the races. I am also super thankful to everybody and the whole team." 

The race was won by Switzerland’s Marco Odermatt, who continued his dominant downhill season with a Swiss sweep of the podium. Alexis Monney was second and Stefan Rogentin in third. 

Also cracking the top 30 was independent skier Wiley Maple in 25th place. Bryce Bennett, Kyle Negomir, Jared Goldberg and Sam Morse landed in 33rd, 40th, 42nd, and 48th place, respectively. 

The men’s speed team will shift to super-G on Sunday.

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team women took on the World Cup super-G in Soldeu, Andorra on Saturday with Keely Cashman leading the way in 12th place as the top American. Teammate Mary Bocock was not far off in 17th. 

Cashman delivered a composed and competitive run on the Soldeu track, attacking the upper pitches with confidence and maintaining solid speed through the gliding sections. While just outside the top 10, Cashman is pleased with her gameplan but hopes to improve slightly on the execution for the super-G the following day. 

“The snow is amazing here, so I was really happy to run early and just have the opportunity,” said Cashman. “I definitely didn't execute the plan exactly how I wanted to, but I'm really excited that we get another chance.”

Bocock is one of the young rising stars of the speed team, known for sending every race fully. She attached top to bottom and slid into her second-best career World Cup result of 17th place. 

“I'm feeling really happy that I'm able to execute the game plan,” said Bocock. “I was attacking a lot and I made some mistakes, but I think that was kind of necessary today to be really pushing.” 

The race was confidently won by Germany’s Emma Aicher, who put down a powerful and fluid run to claim victory by almost a full second. She was joined on the podium by New Zealand’s Alice Robinson in second and Switzerland’s Corinne Suter in third.

Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes Tricia Mangan, Breezy Johnson and Haley Cutler also landed inside the 30 in 22nd, 25th and 28th place. Bella Wright, Allison Mollin and Jackie Wiles did not finish but are OK.

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team women will look to build on the super-G result for the next super-G race on Sunday.

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team women put down strong performances on Friday’s World Cup downhill in Soldeu, Andorra with newly crowned downhill Olympic gold medalist Breezy Johnson leading the way in fifth place and teammate and fellow 2026 Olympic medalist Jackie Wiles skiing strong to eighth.

On the demanding track, Johnson attacked from the start, carrying speed through the gliding sections and staying aggressive on the technical lower pitch to finish just off the podium in a tightly packed field. The result adds another top finish to her season in the speed events and keeps her momentum rolling as the World Cup tour heads into its final stretch. 

“I feel like I gave it my all. I had a couple of scrappy moments, but that's ski racing and moving on to the next,” said Johnson. 

Wiles delivered a very composed and fast run, skiing with confidence and control from top to bottom to secure a top 10 result. 

“I feel like I really struggled on the pitch both training runs,” said Wiles. “I just tried to stay positive and confident that I could turn it around on the race day and I think it was a solid run overall.” 

Teammates Allison Mollin and Keely Cashman rounded out the top 25 in 21st and 22nd, respectively. Haley Cutler and Tricia Mangan did not finish but are OK. Bella Wright and Mary Bocock landed just outside the points in 31st and 35th. 

The winner of the race was Switzerland’s Corinne Suter, who has notably been on the comeback from an injury that sidelined her earlier this season. Austria’s Nina Ortlieb took second with Italy’s Sofia Goggia in third. 

The women now turn their focus to a pair of super-G races this weekend.

Mikaela Shiffrin won the gold medal in women's slalom at the Olympics on Wednesday afternoon, making history by becoming the most decorated U.S. alpine skier in Olympic history, holding the record for the most Olympic gold medals (three) and tying skiing legend Julia Mancuso for most Olympic medals by a U.S. woman in alpine skiing with four. 

Shiffrin attacked from the start, setting the tone in the first run to take the lead and followed up on it with a clean, confident second run on a demanding course that challenged the field. Her combined time put her more than a second ahead of Swiss skier Camille Rast, who claimed silver, while Sweden’s Anna Swenn Larsson rounded out the podium in bronze.

Shiffrin's gold silenced the critics and thrilled her fans and supporters. She is a force to be reckoned with in World Cup racing, having accumulated 108 World Cup wins and shattering the previous record for 86 victories set by Ingemar Stenmark, and although she came into Cortina with three Olympic medals, she struggled at the Beijing Olympics with DNFs in three events. The win proves her grit and determination to keep pushing, and cements her legacy as the greatest of all time, with four medals to her name: three golds (slalom, 2014; giant slalom, 2018; slalom, 2026) and one silver (combined, 2018).

"I think there's many people who can take that title (the GOAT) and many were skiing today," said Shiffrin. "This is a sport where we get to share the beautiful feelings. Even if one can be on the top of the podium, we share it together." 

And Shiffrin didn’t only win Gold in Cortina, she absolutely won by a massive 1.5 second margin. In fact, her 1.5-second victory is the biggest winning margin in Olympic slalom since Swiss skier Vreni Schneider won by 1.68 seconds at the 1998 Games in Calgary. Her 1.5-second win nearly exceeded the combined winning margins of the 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 Olympic women's slalom races combined (1.51 seconds). Additionally, at 30 years and 342 days, she became the second-oldest woman to win Olympic slalom gold, 12 years after becoming the youngest. And, she became the oldest American woman to win Olympic gold in alpine skiing. 

Team USA’s Paula Moltzan finished in eighth, with the fastest second run of the day, attacking from a disappointing 29th place result after first run. The race capped off a stellar Olympic Games that included a medal in the team combined with teammate Jackie Wiles.

"I think you have to experience the emotions as they come because if you keep them inside, it's going to hold you back." said Moltzan. "A lot of emotion comes from feeling like you let your family down that traveled so far to cheer you on, so for me I just let it all out and then move forward."

AJ Hurt was 19th and was thrilled with her result.

"I'm happy with finding the finish two months in a row," said Hurt. "It's been a while since I've done that. The second run was pretty turny so it wasn't really my style but still happy with my skiing and happy to be here." 

 Nina O'Brien did not finish the first run.

The women’s slalom marked the final alpine race of the Olympic program, bringing the Games to an emotional close. Over two weeks of competition, Team USA accumulated four medals in alpine skiing: Breezy Johnson won gold in downhill, Moltzan and Wiles took bronze in the team combined, Ryan Cochran-Siegle was silver in the super-G and Shiffrin golden in slalom.

Park City, Utah (Feb. 17, 2026) - U.S. Ski & Snowboard has announced the 16 athletes representing the United States at the 2026 FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in Narvik, Norway, March 7-15, 2026.

The 2026 team is composed of a strong group of Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes from the B and C teams, as well as top U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes from the Regional Development Team and club teams across the nation. The Regional Development teams consist of the best 14-21-year-olds in the country and are recognized by selection to a Regional Team depending on where they race.  

The U.S. has a long history of strong results at the Junior World Championships with many World Cup athletes as former medalists and winners, including current Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes Lauren Macuga, Paula Moltzan, River Radamus and Ryder Sarchett.

On the women’s side, three-time Junior World Championships medalist Elisabeth Bocock returns. Bocock has had a strong season on the World Cup tour already with multiple top 15 finishes in giant slalom. Two-time Junior World Championships medalist in the team combined and team parallel Stanley Buzek returns as well and will be one to watch in the slalom. 

“This year’s Junior World Championship team showcases an outstanding group of athletes who have already demonstrated their potential with strong performances at the NorAm level and beyond,” said Chip Knight, Alpine Development Director of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team. “Blending valuable experience with emerging talent, this group is well-positioned to achieve meaningful individual results while contributing to a strong team effort for the U.S.”

U.S. Ski & Snowboard alpine coach Karin Harjo became the first woman to set a course for an Olympic alpine ski race, setting Sunday’s giant slalom at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Cortina. Harjo coaches Olympic champion and winningest skier of all time Mikaela Shiffrin. 

Course setting is one of the most respected roles in alpine racing, determining the rhythm, tempo and technical demands of the race. Harjo’s appointment by the International Ski & Snowboard Federation reflects her deep technical expertise and respect she has earned across the international ski community.

A veteran coach with more than two decades of experience, Harjo has coached at the highest levels of World Cup racing with her resume spanning leadership roles in the U.S. and abroad, including serving as head coach of Alpine Canada’s women’s team before returning to the U.S. to coach Shiffrin in 2023.

“This is for your daughter‘s daughters,” said Harjo. “We’re in 2026 and it’s the first time, but the reason is because of Mikaela. She set out to lift up women in sport, whether it’s competitors, coaches, workers. Through her greatness, she’s providing the opportunity for women to rise and pave a path for everybody behind us.”

In 2016, Harjo became the first woman to set a World Cup slalom course and throughout her career, she has been one of the few women coaching and setting courses regularly on the World Cup circuit. She is widely respected not only for her technical knowledge, but also for her calm, thoughtful leadership style.

“Karin is an exceptional coach and leader whose impact on alpine skiing extends far beyond results,” said Anouk Patty, U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport. “Her selection as an Olympic course setter is a testament to her expertise and the respect she commands worldwide. This is a historic moment for our organization and for the sport.”

Mikaela Shiffrin led the way for Team USA, finishing 11th in the women’s Olympic giant slalom at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy on Sunday. Paula Moltzan was 15th, and Nina O’Brien finished 20th.

"That was like the greatest show of giant slalom skiing that we've had in a really long time," said Shiffrin. "To do it at the Olympics where people actually have eyes on the sport so cool to watch." 

It was another sunny day in the Dolomites with picture-perfect conditions on the Tofane slope. An ideal day for giant slalom. Team USA fans lined the course and were ready to cheer on their favorite skiers. The race turned out to be one of the most thrilling women's races in quite some time. The margins between the second and the 12th were razor-thin. Mere hundreds of seconds came into play. The U.S. women fired on both runs, but in the deep giant slalom field, it would not be enough for a medal. 

"After returning to giant slalom and to racing after my injury last year I felt like there was no hope to be faster," said Shiffrin. "But to be here now, not far from the fastest women, is huge for me so I'm proud of that." 

Team USA teammates Moltzan and O'Brien wanted more from the day as well, but take what they can from the race and will build for the final race on Wednesday. However, O'Brien showed her true giant slalom form, posting the fastest second run time.

"I'm just learning from it, of course I wanted more but I am happy with some turns and will look to ski faster in the slalom," said Moltzan. 

Italy’s Frederica Brignone dominated the race, taking the gold medal in 2 minutes, 13.50 seconds. The 2022 Olympic champion Sara Hector of Sweden and Norway’s Thea Louise Stjernesund tied for the silver medal at 0.74 back. Italy’s Lara Della Mea narrowly missed a medal by just 0.05 seconds, finishing fourth.

"Fede is the kindest, most genuine athlete on tour. This comeback of hers has been incredible, to win two gold medals at home is unreal. She's clearly one of the best year in the world right now," said Moltzan. 

For Brignone, it was her second gold medal of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games as she won the super-G last week in Cortina, just 10 months after suffering a season-ending crash last April.

Next up, the women's slalom is the final alpine event of the 2026 Olympics on Tuesday.

In Saturday’s men’s giant slalom in Bormio, Italy Team USA’s River Radamus led the way for the men’s team in 17th place, and first-time Olympian Ryder Sarchett landed 25th. 

“It's a tough business,” said Radamus. “I devote my entire life to standing on that podium knowing full well that the odds are against me so it's difficult on a day like this.” 

It was not a typical race day for the field of mostly World Cup racers. The snow was uncharacteristically soft, with spring-like conditions instead of the typical ice and firm snow skiers are used to. On top of that, the weather fluctuated greatly with snow, rain and more coming in and out throughout the day. That meant the race would be a test for who could adapt to the changing conditions and find speed best, especially with the challenging visibility. 

Team USA athlete River Radamus was the top-seeded American in the discipline. His World Cup season has been a mix of great runs followed by races where things did not click. However, Radamus had his sights set on a big day in the giant slalom. He pushed the best he could on the first run but did not find the rhythm or speed and would end up 12th across the line, and ultimately 17th in the race. Not the finish he was hoping for but he will learn and move on to the remainder of the World Cup season. 

“It’s a blessing to take part in this and it’s a blessing to be able to dream and to be able to try.,” said Radamus. “I'm glad that I tried. I wish I had the best skiing to be on that podium, but I don't have a lot of regrets.” 

First-time Olympian Ryder Sarchett also struggled to find speed on the first run but found a better groove in run two, moving up a few spots to 25th place. He can go home knowing he showed some good turns at his first games. 

“To be able to do this at 22 I'm really stoked and I think it brings a lot of confidence into my next Olympics hopefully,” said Sarchett. “I had some great turns on the second run. I was very disappointed with the first run and happy with a better run.” 

The big story of the day was Brazil’s Lucas Pinheiro Braathen who secured gold - the first winter Olympics medal for the country. In silver and bronze were Swiss skiers Marco Odermatt and Loic Meillard. 

There is one final Olympic race for the men, the slalom, on February 16th.
