BIO

Alice Merryweather learned to ski at four years old on the wintery slopes of Attitash Mountain, chasing her brother down the hill. When she reached high school, she decided to pursue her ski racing dreams and enrolled at Stratton Mountain School. At Stratton, she earned herself spots on the Junior World Championship teams in 2014 and 2015, as well as a spot on the D Team in 2016.

Merryweather made her World Cup debut in 2016, skiing the downhill at Altenmarkt, Austria. In 2017, she really had a breakthrough though, starting in her first giant slalom World Cup on home snow at Killington, and also starting in two more World Cup races in Europe before she competed in the Junior World Championships in Are, Sweden and was crowned Junior Worlds Downhill champion alongside teammate Sam Morse for a gold medal sweep. That earned her a starting spot for World Cup Finals on home snow in Aspen, Colorado, where she broke into the top 20 in downhill.

"The whole weekend I’ve been super, super relaxed and laid back, and for me, that’s the key, relaxing and putting together a race run, trusting my skiing, and I fully did that today."
