Women’s Alpine Coach Brandon Dyksterhouse Resigns

PARK CITY, UT (July 8, 2016) – After two years as the head coach for the women’s alpine technical team, Brandon Dyksterhouse has resigned from his coaching role. Dyksterhouse joined the program as interim women’s head tech coach prior to the 2015 World Championships in Vail/Beaver Creek, and assumed the role of head coach during the 2015-16 season. He led the women’s tech team to success on the Audi FIS Ski World Cup circuit during his tenure, including five consecutive World Cup victories from Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, CO) in the 2016 season.

Dyksterhouse leaves the program, but remains a big fan. “Although I will be moving on, USSA and ski racing will always be a treasured part of my life,” he said. “I look forward to resuming my role of virtual #SuperFan as the team tackles St. Mortitz 2017 and PyeongChang 2018. Thank you for an amazing two years and I wish everyone the best of success in the future.“

Alpine Director Patrick Riml is currently seeking a replacement. “Brandon has done an outstanding job with Mikaela and the women’s tech team the last two seasons,” said Riml. “This was Brandon’s choice and we respect that. We have some opportunities for replacement and want to have a plan in place for our New Zealand camp later this month.”
