Jack Young is one of the strongest sprinters in the U.S., but his success didn’t happen overnight; in fact, it didn’t happen for years. In high school, he traded in the baseball glove and the football pads to chase something out of the ordinary – cross country ski racing. Fast-forward, the former football QB turned five-time Vermont state cross country ski champ, and the first-ever Colby College skier to be named to the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, is now one of the fastest sprinters in the country. He was named to the Stifel. U.S.

Next week, the best up-and-coming moguls skiers will flock to Winter Park, Colorado, for U.S. Freestyle Selections, hoping to earn start positions at domestic moguls World Cups. 

Mikaela Shiffrin of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team pulled off yet another home win over Thanksgiving weekend, this time at Copper Mountain, Colorado at the Stifel Copper Cup presented by United Airlines. Just 30 minutes away from her home in Edwards and in front of thousands of screaming fans, Shiffrin took her 104th World Cup win by more than 1.5 seconds. Paula Moltzan finished in eighth place. 

Jessie Diggins delivered one of the standout performances of the weekend in Ruka, charging to second place in the women’s 20k skate mass start, her 80th World Cup podium, and reminded the world why she’s the reigning overall World Cup champion.

From the opening kilometer, the race took shape, with Sweden’s Ebba Andersson and Frida Karlsson leading, along with Norway’s Heidi Weng in the chase. Diggins had to hold on from the get-go. 

Nina O’Brien led the Stifel U.S. Ski Team women in the giant slalom at the Stifel Copper Cup presented by United, taking 11th place. Mikaela Shiffrin was 14th. 

Snow fell overnight at Copper—a welcome sight in the dry west—but caused a short delay in the start. However, the sun came out by first run and the course crew slipped the new snow off to unearth a perfect track. 

A warm, wet snowfall turned Saturday’s classic sprint in Ruka, Finland into a grind, with saturated tracks and noticeably slower qualification times than the 2024-25 season. On a day when skis mattered more than ever, athletes had to fight for every inch on one of the World Cup’s most demanding sprint courses. Jessie Diggins led the way for the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, in 10th, with Ben Ogden in 12th, Rosie Brennan in 15th and Gus Schumacher in 25th. 

Troy Podmilsak of the Stifel U.S. Freeski Team brought home his first World Cup victory on Nov. 28 in Secret Garden, China, the venue that played host to the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. Although Podmilsak was the 2023 big air world champion, he still lacked a World Cup victory in his trophy cabinet — that has now changed. 

Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team athletes Lily Dhawornvej and Brooklyn DePriest joined American Judd Henkes in the first World Cup final of the 2025–26 snowboard big air season in Secret Garden, China.

The riders battled windy conditions and a worn-down jump left over from the rescheduled freeski finals earlier in the day but the Americans held strong and delivered an impressive performance to kick off the season.
