With the World Cup debut fast approaching on October 24, 2026, in Sölden, Austria, the U.S. Alpine Ski Team is rolling out its roster, from big names like Mikaela Shiffrin to developing squad members. 

“This is a very determined and impressive group of alpine athletes who are fully prepared to compete at the highest level as we head into a World Championship season,” said newly named alpine director Sasha Rearick in a release.

The women’s team includes a stacked cast of recent Olympic medal winners. Shiffrin took gold in slalom at the latest Games while Breezy Johnson won downhill gold. Lauren Macuga, a younger, rising member of the group who sat out with an ACL injury during the 2025-26 season, showed considerable promise before being sidelined, nabbing several top-five finishes. She shared a post about returning to the snow this week.

Lindsey Vonn, who continues to recover from the injuries she suffered at the latest Olympic downhill, was also named to the roster. 

A team rep explained that being named means an athlete accepted a previously announced nomination. Those nominations, which were shared last spring, are based on the team’s selection criteria.

Vonn is not competing this winter, Ski Racing Media reported.

“I don’t want to close the door on racing. I think … I have to be 100% and I want to get back on the mountain before I can make that judgment,” she said in a conversation with USA Today.

Among the men, Ryan Cochran-Siegle leads. At the 2026 Games, he zipped into second during the super-G, beating out Swiss star Marco Odermatt. Otherwise, the men are looking to gain ground (or snow) and nab more podiums.

Phil McNichol, who is returning to lead the men this winter and worked with standouts including Bode Miller and Ted Ligety during his past tenure as head coach, previously told POWDER that he has a simple mandate: “To try to stabilize the men’s team and improve performance.” 

“That happens through stabilizing personnel, philosophy, and direction,” he added.

Rearick, the alpine director, also rejoined the team ahead of the 2026-27 season after a five-year hiatus.
