A team of 15 junior nordic combined and ski jumping athletes were named by U.S. Ski & Snowboard and USA Nordic to compete in the FIS Nordic Junior World Championships Jan. 20-27 in Lahti, Finland. The event will feature the debut of women’s nordic combined as a medal event at Junior Worlds, proof of the quick progress the sport is making towards hopeful future Olympic inclusion.

The team includes four men and four women on the jumping team, with five men and two women qualifying for the nordic combined team.

Selection was made from a series of qualifying events, including international events as well as world rankings through January 13.

Jared Shumate (Park City, Utah) is the unchallenged leader of nordic combined team. Shumate started the season with sixth and seventh places in the Steamboat Springs Continental Cup, both personal bests.

“I expect that he will fight for the top 10 in both individual competitions,” says USA Nordic coach Tomas Matura 

The rest of the nordic combined athletes will be competing in their first ever Junior World Championships. It’s a young team which will grow from the experience of competing on the world stage.

Tess Arnone (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) competed in last year’s exhibition event in Kandersteg, Switzerland. She will be looking to build on her 29th place last year and gain valuable experience as the lone U.S. entrant in the first women’s medal event. Arnone is currently ranked 10th in the Continental Cup standings – showing a very positive start to her season. Also, qualifying is Annika Malacinski (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) who had progressed quickly as a nordic combined skier after taking up jumping less than two years ago.

The women’s ski jumping team has shown great progress over the past year. The squad is young with some great up-and-coming talent. All four of the women’s team members qualified with their results at the Continental Cup level earlier this winter. 

“Last winter we had two athletes in the top 30 and our highest finish since 2013, Logan Sankey at20th. This year we have the potential to see all of these girls finish in the top 30,” said USA Nordic coach Blake Hughes.

Annika Belshaw (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) and Paige Jones (Park City, Utah) enter the new year ranked 10th and 13th respectively in the FIS Cup standings.

Andrew Urlaub (Eau Claire, Wis.), Decker Dean (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) and Greyson Scharffs (Park City, Utah) are all members of the USA Nordic Junior National Team, which was formed for the first time this past summer. They have progressed extremely well. Canden Wilkinson, the final member of the team recently moved away from nordic combined to specialize in jumping.

“He surprised us all with securing his spot for the Junior Worlds,” says USA Nordic coach Jan Druzina. “Our goal this season is to show consistency and good jumps in the competitions. A Top 30 finish is realistic, but we know surprises are always a possibility.”

Dean, Urlaub, and Scharffs are all coming off great finishes at the Park City, Utah FIS Cups. This should give them confidence as they head towards Lahti. 

The Junior World Championships will be held on the same venue that was used for the 2017 Nordic World Championships. The first event for Nordic combined will come on January 23 with jumping beginning on January 24.

U.S. Ski & Snowboard prides itself in having some of the most elite winter sport athletes in the world. Without the help of top-tier training centers and development clubs, however, the goal of being the best in the world would be nearly impossible for U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes.

The High Performance Center program, which was initiated in 2017, is the main way for the organization to connect with the growing training facilities across the country, as well as identify aspiring athletes that have the potential for the national team. This program encourages certified gold and silver clubs, who have excellence in athletic development, sports science, and sports medicine, to become a designated High Performance Center (otherwise known as HPC) with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, in hopes to improve the national system and developmental pathway for athletes.

“The whole process is to help elevate everyone,” says High Performance Coordinator for U.S. Ski and Snowboard Calin Butterfield. “We try to approach areas where we feel we can add value to bring everyone up to the same level, as well as learn from these centers to internally improve.” Butterfield, along with his team, has the goal of implementing consistent communication and collaboration with these clubs to elevate the nation as a whole in preparing athletes for snow sports competition.

The process for becoming an HPC for U.S. Ski & Snowboard starts with registering as a U.S. Ski & Snowboard club. Any U.S. Ski & Snowboard club has the opportunity to become certified as a bronze, silver, or gold status training facility by proving organizational, administrative, sports programming, and financial stability. Once a club is considered silver or gold status, they have the option to apply for HPC status and be reviewed for the program. According to Butterfield, the club must have “a fully functioning performance team,” which includes sports medicine staff, performance training or athletic development coaches on site, medical directors or strong relationships with a medical clinic, a facility to train, and some access to nutrition for athletes.  

Once a club becomes a High Performance Center, U.S. Ski & Snowboard provides consistent structured programming throughout the year. “We do multiple education workshops, where we go to them, try to bring them together as regions, or bring them all here to the Center of Excellence. Both HPC staff and our own staff benefit by learning in a collective, unified way,” says Butterfield. In addition to workshops, the staff of each HPC is encouraged to visit the Center of Excellence (COE) in Park City, Utah to spend time with national team coaches/sports development staff and create a proper communication network. “I also make visits to each HPC at least twice a year to observe, talk shop, and form that deeper connection,” says Butterfield.

Although it is only in its second year, the HPC program is rapidly growing to include some of the best training facilities and clubs in the country. In the first year, eight Gold-level clubs opted in to become an HPC: Burke Mountain Academy, Killington Mountain School, Green Mountain Valley School (GMVS), Stratton Mountain, Carrabassett Valley Academy, Squaw Valley Mountain, Sugarbowl Mountain, and Sun Valley Ski Academy. Almost 13 national alpine team athletes came from these clubs prior to their HPC designation, proving how worthy and valuable they are to U.S. Ski & Snowboard.  

Starting in the summer of 2018, two new developmental clubs, Proctor Academy ski area in New Hampshire and Mammoth Mountain in California, received the HPC title. These two clubs were reviewed and quickly accepted after it was decided that a partnership would be mutually beneficial. With many athletes training at both these facilities, as well as having long-standing relationships with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, there is much excitement for these partnerships.

"The impact from Proctor's HPC status has been immediate for our athletes and for our coaching staff. Collaboration with peer HPC clubs and talented U.S. Ski and Snowboard staff has provided real-time access to information, training, and collaboration to keep our program at the forefront of new developments in the sport of alpine skiing. From the weight room to on hill training environment, the partnership validates our commitment to keep our program advancing, and never allowing us to get complacent."

- David Salathe, Proctor Academy’s Alpine Program Director

“Our longstanding commitment to athletic excellence has been a Mammoth Mountain value since its inception. Becoming an official High Performance Center with US Ski and Snowboard was an integral step in our ongoing tradition of supporting the Olympic movement. We look forward to our continued partnership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard. Their Sport Science program, staff, and resources are truly world class. The Mammoth Mountain Ski & Snowboard Team is excited to see the development of our athletes and staff. Additionally, we are honored to play a part in the large-scale strategy of U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s quest to further build upon the strength of the country’s winter sports programs.”     

-  Pete Korfiatis, Mammoth Mountain’s Director of Athletics

The potential impact of these HPCs is crucial for further success in winter sports. Not only will HPCs provide athletes to U.S. Ski & Snowboard Teams, but they will assist in creating a more cohesive, consolidated system for teaching and training.

“We are going to need to lean on the HPC clubs to further drive education at local and regional clubs,” says Butterfield. With the natural sharing of personnel, methods, techniques, and even athletes, the HPC program has a goal of unifying the snowsport community. “We are trying to systemize so that a) everyone is speaking the same language and b) we as a national governing body (NGB) are doing what we need to be doing to support the growth of the system outside of just the central location here at the Center of Excellence,” says Butterfield.

Troy Taylor, High Performance Director for U.S. Ski & Snowboard, agrees with this goal. “This is a 2 to 3-way education process. Yes, it’s about our systems and processes being implemented into these clubs, but it’s also about us learning techniques from them and about clubs collaborating between themselves and sharing the best practices,” he remarks. “From our perspective, we really value these partnerships and the motivation towards driving these programs towards success.”

With consistent collaboration, a clear vision for improvement, and the dedication to creating a more unified system, the HPC program has the potential to have a lot of impact on the success of the United States in snowsport competition. U.S. Ski & Snowboard is nothing short of proud to able to partner with these powerful centers and continue the work to become the best in the world.
 

The networks of NBC Sports will broadcast more than 30 hours of FIS Ski World Cup slalom action, cross country’s Tour de Ski stage race, the 4-Hills Tournament for ski jumping, and nordic combined action to kick off the first week of the New Year.

Mikaela Shiffrin (Avon, Colo.) opens 2019 with a city event in Oslo, Norway on New Year’s Day. Shiffrin, who has won the past two city events in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2017 and Oslo in 2018, goes for the hat trick in Tuesday’s event, which will be broadcast live on the Olympic Channel, and streamed live on OlympicChannel.com and NBC Sports Gold at 10:30 a.m. EST.

From there, the White Circus rolls into Zagreb, Croatia, for a pair of men and women’s night slaloms Saturday and Sunday, both of which will stream live on OlympicChannel.com and NBC Sports Gold for the first run, and stream live on both platforms for the second run, along with TV broadcast on the Olympic Channel.

The Tour de Ski wraps up with five stages this week, including the grand finale hill climb up the slopes of Val di Fiemme ski resort in Italy on Sunday. Every stage will be broadcast live on the Olympic Channel and streamed live on OlympicChannel.com and NBC Sports Gold.

FIS Ski Jumping World Cup continues this week with the 67th running of the 4-Hills Tournament in Germany, and Austria. NBC Sports Gold will stream all the events, and select events will also be featured on the Olympic Channel.

The FIS Nordic Combined World Cup season returns to action following the holiday break with a pair of HS97/10k events in Otepaa, Estonia, Saturday and Sunday. Both events will stream live on OlympicChannel.com and NBC Sports Gold.

Mother Nature is providing an off-week for the FIS Ski Alpine World Cup women, and World Cup Snowboardcross athletes, but the action continues from Italy, Switzerland, France, and China for many U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes. The networks of NBC will provide more than 30 hours of winter sports broadcast and streaming coverage this week for fans to tune in.

The men’s World Cup circuit moves to Val Gardena and Alta Badia, Italy, for three events: super-G, downhill and giant slalom, Dec. 14-16. Tommy Ford (Bend, Ore.), who posted a career-best World Cup giant slalom result last week in Val d’Isere, will be one to watch on Sunday in Alta Badia, where he has posted a couple of top-15 results. Olympic champion Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah) is hoping to find that nostalgic form once again in Alta Badia where he has picked up numerous top-five results, including victories in 2012 and 2010.

Val d’Isere was slated to host the World Cup women’s speed event this week, however, unfavorable weather conditions have resulted in the event being rescheduled for Dec. 18-19 in Val Gardena, Italy. Downhill training is set for Monday, Dec. 17, and Tuesday morning, Dec. 18, with the downhill race scheduled for the afternoon of Dec. 18. The super-G will follow Wednesday, Dec. 19. The Networks of NBC will broadcast the rescheduled events the Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold app.

Following the speed events in Val Gardena, the women’s World Cup circuit moves on to Courchevel, France, for giant slalom and slalom events, Dec. 21-22. Mikaela Shiffrin (Avon, Colo.), fresh off her back-to-back super-G and parallel slalom victories in St. Moritz last weekend, plans to continue her training and not participate in the Val Gardena speed events in order to prepare for a busy upcoming holiday tech schedule that kicks off in Courchevel.

All eyes are on Jessie Diggins (Afton, Minn.) and Sadie Bjornsen (Mazama, Wash.) as the U.S. Cross Country Team heads to Davos, Switzerland, for the second FIS Cross Country World Cup freestyle sprint of the season Saturday, and women and men’s 10k/15k freestyle events Sunday. Diggins just missed the sprint podium the past two season in Davos, finishing fourth last year and fifth in 2016. She has been progressing through the start of the season despite battling a cold, posting an eighth-place 10k freestyle finish last weekend. Bjornsen is currently ninth in the overall World Cup standings thanks to six top-10 results this season, including a third-place freestyle sprint finish in Lillehammer, Norway, two weeks ago. Could we see two Americans on the podium in Davos Saturday? Tune in at 7:20 a.m. (EST) to The Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold app for live coverage Saturday.

Tess Johnson (Vail, Colo.), who finished third in the opening World Cup moguls event of the season last weekend in Ruka, Finland, leads a stacked U.S. Freestyle Team to Thaiwoo, China, for individual and dual moguls events. Both events will be broadcast live on the Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold, but due to the 13-hour time difference between China and the Eastern Time Zone in the United States, fans should plan on staying up late Friday and Saturday nights to catch the action beginning at 12:20 a.m. EST.

Kevin Bickner (Wauconda, Ill.), who was fifth in a FIS Continental Cup ski jumping event in Lillehammer, Norway last weekend, will head back to the World Cup tour this weekend at Engelberg, Switzerland. Nita Englund (Florence, Wis.) will compete at the women's World Cup in Pramanon, France.

Fresh off the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix, a number of U.S. Freeski and Snowboard Team athletes head to Breckenridge, Colo., for the Dew Tour this week, with halfpipe, slopestyle jib, and jump events.

U.S. Snowboard and Freeski Team halfpipe athletes return to the friendly confines of the Copper Mountain’s 22-foot superpipe for the opening Toyota U.S. Grand Prix this week at the Colorado resort, and the networks of NBC will be there broadcast all the action. In fact, NBC is scheduled to stream and broadcast more than 50 hours of Olympic winter sports from Colorado, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Norway Dec. 7-10.

The finals of both Grand Prix events will be streamed and broadcast live on the networks of NBC, including NBC Sports Network and NBC Sports Gold for Friday’s freeski finals and Saturday’s snowboard finals. This weekend’s Grand Prix events also serve as the opening FIS Snowboard and Freeski World Cup halfpipe events for the 2018-19 season and NBC will broadcast a pair of one-hour Grand Prix recap shows Saturday (freeski) and Sunday (snowboard) afternoons.

Fresh off her historic 46th career FIS Ski World Cup victory, which was also her first career World Cup super-G win, Sunday at Lake Louise, Alberta, Mikaela Shiffrin (Avon, Colo.) and teammates return to Europe for the remainder of the competition season. But American fans will only have to reach for their mobile device or remote control to watch this weekend’s super-G and parallel women’s World Cup events in St. Moritz, Switzerland. On the men's side, Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah) leads the tech team in the second World Cup giant slalom and slalom events of the season in Val d’Isere, France. All alpine events this weekend will be streamed and broadcast on NBC Sports Network, the Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold.

Jaelin Kauf (Alta, Wyo.), Tess Johnson (Vail, Colo.), Casey Andringa (Vail, Colo.) and Bradley Wilson (Park City, Utah) lead the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team moguls athletes as they kick off their World Cup season in Ruka, Finland, this weekend. Both the Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold will carry live coverage on Friday, starting at 9:20 a.m. EST.

Fresh of a string of three top-10 World Cup results, including a third-place sprint finish in Lillehammer, Norway, last weekend, Sadie Bjornsen (Winthrop, Wash.) joins her U.S. Cross Country Ski Team teammate Jessie Diggins (Afton, Minn.) to compete in a 15k freestyle Saturday and a 4x5k team relay in Beitostølen, Norway, Sunday. Erik Bjornsen (Winthrop, Wash.) and Simi Hamilton (Aspen, Colo.) are scheduled to participate in the men’s 30k freestyle and a 4x7.5k team relay. All events will be streamed/broadcast live on the Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold.

USA Nordic/U.S. Ski Team ski jumpers, unfortunately, will have to wait another week before the next FIS Ski Jumping World Cup event as this weekend's large hill competition in Titisee-Neustadt, Germany has been canceled due to unfavorable weather conditions.

This weekend marks the final stop of the FIS Ski Alpine World Cup circuit in North America with women’s speed events in Lake Louise, Alberta, while the men tackle one of the circuit’s premier courses - Birds of Prey - at Beaver Creek, Colorado. The networks of NBC will broadcast/stream more than 40 hours of coverage this weekend, including more than 30 hours of live coverage.

Mikaela Shiffrin (Avon, Colo.) is fresh off her 45th career World Cup victory at Vermont’s Killington Resort and shifts gears this weekend to take on a pair of downhill races and a super-G, as she looks to build upon her speed resume where she scored her first career World Cup downhill victory last season. Unfortunately, Lindsey Vonn (Vail, Colo.) will not be heading to “Lake Lindsey” after sustaining a minor knee injury while training at Copper Mountain, Colorado.

Following up on a pair of top-20 results at Lake Louise last weekend, Ryan Cochran-Siegle (Starksboro, Vt.) looks to tame the Birds of Prey in three events this weekend - downhill, super-G, and giant slalom. Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah) finally kicks off his World Cup season this weekend at Beaver Creek after the opening GS of the season was rescheduled from Soelden, Austria, due to weather.

The U.S. Cross Country Ski Team returns to the 1994 Olympic site of Lillehammer, Norway, for three events this weekend: men and women’s freestyle sprint Friday; a mass-start women’s 10k freestyle and a 15k mass-start men’s freestyle Saturday; and a 10k classic pursuit for women and 15k classic pursuit for men Sunday.

The U.S. women have fond memories of Lillehammer as Sadie Bjornsen (Winthrop, Wash.) finished on the podium in the classic sprint last season with a third-place result. Teammate Jessie Diggins (Afton, Minn.) finished sixth, and Sophie Caldwell (Stratton Mountain, Vt.) was ninth.

USA Nordic’s U.S. Nordic Combined Team members Ben Loomis (Eau Claire, Wis.), Taylor Fletcher (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) and Jasper Good (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) kick off the World Cup season in Lillehammer this weekend with three stages comprising the Lillehammer Tour. Friday features an individual HS98m jump with a short 5k cross country race with athletes seeded based on jump results. On Saturday, a mass-start 10k will be followed by one jump on the HS98m hill. Sunday’s finale features another individual event, but athletes will move to the large HS140m jumping hill, and follow with a 10k cross country.

On the ski jumping side, Kevin Bickner (Wauconda, Ill.) will represent the men’s USA Nordic/U.S. Ski Jumping Team in Nizhny Tagil, Russia, for a pair of HS134m events Saturday and Sunday. In the women’s season World Cup opener, Nita Englund (Florence, Wis.), Nina Lussi (Lake Placid, N.Y.) and Tara Geraghty-Moats (West Fairlee, Vt.) will represent USA Nordic’s U.S. Ski Jumping Team in three events in Lillehammer, two HS98m competitions Friday and Saturday, and one HS140m large hill competition Sunday.
