MAR. 6, 2025- U.S. Ski & Snowboard is thrilled to announce the 16 park and pipe riders representing the Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team at the 2025 FIS Snowboard World Championships in Engadin, Switzerland, March 17-30.

“Our 2025 park and pipe World Championships roster is absolutely stacked,” said snowboard sport director Rick Bower. “Complete with World Cup winners, world champions and Olympians, the depth of the squad speaks volumes of the team’s success this season. Big names in the sport like 2025 Crystal Globe winner Maddie Mastro and the top-ranked WSPL rider Chloe Kim highlight the halfpipe squad while the strength of the slope roster is undeniable, with all four men’s team athletes having a World Cup victory to their name. I can’t wait to see what these 16 athletes accomplish in Engadin.”

Halfpipe

Making her fourth career World Championships halfpipe roster is 2024-25 FIS Crystal Globe winner Maddie Mastro, who won the silver medal at her last World Champs appearance in 2021 next to teammate Chloe Kim, who took the World Championships gold medal for a USA top-two sweep. Kim returns for her third career World Championships and looks to defend her 2019 and 2021 titles. Maddy Schaffrick and Sonora Alba join the two veterans and earn their first career World Championships roster call up.

The men’s halfpipe roster is led by Chase Josey, earning his fifth career World Championships spot, and Lucas Foster, who secures his second. 16-year-old Alessandro Barbieri and Winter Park’s own Jason Wolle earn their first career call up to the World Championships stage.

“So hyped to be headed to World Championships with this talented roster,” said head coach Danny Kass. “Coming out of Calgary with Alessandro’s first career podium and Maddie’s Crystal Globe gives us great momentum heading into the final contest of the season. This crew is ready to put on a show.”

Slopestyle/Big Air

The women’s slopestyle and big air team is led by Olympic silver medalist Julia Marino, making her third World Championships roster, but first since 2019. Marino is joined by 2024 Junior World Championships big air gold medalist Rebecca Flynn and Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team rookies Hahna Norman and Lily Dhawornvej.

The men’s slopestyle and big air roster is led by veterans Red Gerard and Dusty Henricksen, both making a World Championships roster for the first time since 2021. They will be joined by 16-year-old Ollie Martin, coming off his first career World Cup victory (and podium) at the Calgary Snow Rodeo and Sean FitzSimons, who returns to the World Championships stage after a 2023 slopestyle appearance in Georgia.

“The strength of this slopestyle roster lies in the camaraderie and depth,” said head coach Mike Ramirez. “I truly believe that when it comes to selections like this, it's the hardest team in the world to make. Every rider on the World Championships team has stepped up and earned their spot. We’ve got a fantastic mix of grizzled veterans and some exciting young talent on the rise.”

The 2025 FIS Snowboard World Championships kick off March 17. More information, including event schedules and broadcast information, can be found on the event website.

On Sunday’s slalom in Åre, Sweden the winningest skier of all time Mikaela Shiffrin notched another record, claiming third place to mark her 156th podium finish. This achievement now solidifies the great as resetting the record for the most World Cup alpine podiums ever. 

“In challenging conditions you have to be so perfect, and it can be really hard to ski loose and aggressive when you have no room for errors,” said Shiffrin. “I feel pretty proud that I was pushing.”

It was a mixed day of conditions in Åre with a spring-like surface at the top of the day to winter snowflakes falling down in the afternoon. The women slalom skiers would need to find a new level of intensity to make it down the run fast and clean. Shiffrin ran bib one and set the pace. She skied each turn with aggression, consistently finding the top of the turn to sit in first for the remainder of the run. 

Stifel U.S. Ski Team teammate Paula Moltzan had a strong start that would put her in 11th - a great spot to move up from on the second run. The second run needed grit to make it down into the green and she did just that. She skied solidly to sit in the leaderboard chair for a few spots and ultimately ended up sixth. 

“Conditions today were super tough between the snow and visibility. The second run was a fight,” said Moltzan. “I am happy to have come down in the green light and move up a couple spots! Most importantly I am so excited to go home and race at the Stifel Sun Valley Finals in just a few weeks.” 

The next racers to go would shake up the podium. Austria’s Katharina Truppe skied a great second run to overtake the lead and win her first World Cup with teammate Katharina Liensberger just behind. 

Shiffrin skied strong from the top but began to lose a little bit of her lead in the middle. Despite her best efforts in the very tough conditions, it was not enough for the win but resulted in an impressive third place.  

“I’ll watch the video later but I imagine both of the Katis did an amazing job!” said Shiffrin. 

AJ Hurt also landed in the points on Sunday in 20th place. Katie Hensien, Nina O’Brien and Elisabeth Bocock did not finish. 

Next the women’s tech team heads back to the U.S. for Stifel Sun Valley Finals.

On Sunday’s super-G in Kvitfjell, Norway, the final super-G of the regular World Cup season, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes Ryan Cochran-Siegle and Jared Goldberg ended their super-G run in 11th and 12th place respectively. It was a positive day for the men’s team overall with six men finding the top 30. 

“I felt like I had some good skiing, but a couple mistakes that really made a difference. So definitely a tight race,” said Cochran-Siegle. 

The weather in Kvitfjell changed dramatically once again to provide a thick layer of fog that forced the start to be moved down to a lowered start, which meant that the men would need to push extremely hard to find themselves in a good spot. Cochran-Siegle and Goldberg had no choice but to send as they ran bib 1 and 2. 

The American skiers were separated by a hair, just 0.03 in between the two. The times would prove to hold up well for the upcoming racers. Just one-tenth of a second would end up separating the field between fifth place and 10th place.

“I think today was some good, solid skiing. I was pushing hard and really attacking the blind rolls and that was something that I was struggling with for a while, after having a big crash in Wengen,” said Goldberg. 

The remainder of the men’s team also found strong skiing to put themselves in the super-G points. River Radamus landed in 18th, showing his giant slalom skills as he knifed each turn flawlessly. Kyle Negomir and Bryce Bennett were not far behind with a tie for 21st. Sam Morse finished 29th. 

The winner of the race was Italian Dominik Paris, second place went to Canadian James Crawford and third place to Slovenia’s Miha Hrobat. 

It was a strong ending to the men’s speed season in a year which has brought high highs and low lows. To end the season with the whole team in the points will satisfy the men for the final spring races and fire up the men heading into finals. 

The skiers heading to finals for men’s speed include Bryce Bennett for downhill, Ryan Cochran-Siegle for downhill and super-G and Jared Goldberg for super-G. 

“Just knowing that we're done with the European tour and we get to go home back to the U.S. gave me that little bit of push I need after so many months away. I'm excited to be on that hill, too. No one's no one else has really been there," said Goldberg.

The Stifel Sun Valley Finals will begin on March 22.

Men's super-G

On Saturday’s women’s giant slalom race in Åre, Sweden Stifel U.S. Ski Team women Paula Moltzan, Nina O’Brien and Elisabeth Bocock all performed very strongly in sixth, 11th and 14th. Plus AJ Hurt landed 19th. 

“I’m super happy with my second run, I left a little time out there but still coming down in the green is a great feeling,” said Moltzan. “It is so awesome for the whole team to be able to push hard on the second run and everyone ended up in the top 20!”

It was another excellent giant slalom race for the U.S. women after a first run that brought a mixed bag of results. All of the women with a few mistakes on the first run which led to some lost time and a few DNFs. Despite the first run not going as planned, the women were able to refocus and send on the second run. 

The sun came out on run two and brought very spring like conditions underfoot with a touch more slush than hard surface. First up for the team was O’Brien who knifed her second run taking full advantage of the early start number. She would end up moving up almost 20 places to end up 11th overall. She was also notably second on the second run - proving that she can ski amongst the best. 

Next it was Bocock who had a stellar day. Bocock, fresh off of her World Juniors bronze medal, pushed hard to move up on the second run too. She would end up 14th. Her first-ever World Cup top 15 and career best result to date. 

“Spring conditions up here in Åre, which can be challenging so I was happy to make it into the second run and take advantage of the cleaner track,” said Bocock. “I’m super happy with the result, this weekend is my final World Cup of the year so I’m just trying to ski aggressively with nothing to lose!”

Hurt also had a solid day but with a few too many mistakes, she would land 19th. Mikaela Shiffrin and Katie Hensien did not finish the first run but are OK.  

It was also a historic day for Stifel U.S. Ski Team coach Karin Harjo who set the first run of giant slalom. Harjo, already a trailblazer as a woman in alpine coaching, became the first woman to set a slalom World Cup course in 2016 and on Saturday she became the first woman to set a giant slalom World Cup course. Notably accomplished on International Women's Day. 

The World Cup weekend is not over yet - on Sunday the women race the final slalom of the regular World Cup season.

Dawning the red, white, and blue striped socks and "USA" face paint, with glitter across their cheeks, the U.S. women’s 4x7.5k relay team put up a strong fight in an incredibly challenging race at the World Championships, ultimately finishing sixth in the world. The event featured two classic legs followed by two skate legs. Rosie Brennan, Julia Kern, Sophia Laukli, and Jessie Diggins fought for the podium alongside 19 teams. Sweden ultimately won the day, with Norway in second and Germany third. 

Heavy rain the last couple of days and strong winds yesterday led to deteriorating tracks, which made the course increasingly choppy and slow. The teams battled through each leg, with Rosie Brennan leading off for the Americans, navigating the relentless climbs to keep the team in close contact with the front. 

"My goal was to stay as close as possible and tag off in close contact with other teams, and I felt I did that really well," said Brennan. "I was happy with how I skied today. I met my goals out there… it was good! The pace was fast from the start, especially in the second lap. The course is hard, I mean it’s seven minutes of straight climbing – it skies a little different than other courses, but our skis were great, good kick and good glide."

Julia Kern took over for the second classic leg, pushing hard to keep the U.S. in contention as the course continued to slow.

"I put it all out there for the team today," said Kern. "It was a really hard race, and of course I wanted more, but I gave everything I had in the race today, and that was my goal, and I am proud of that!"

Sophia Laukli took over for the third leg, shifting into skate skiing, before tagging off to Diggins for the anchor leg. Diggins delivered a gutsy performance, holding her own against Sweden’s Jonna Sundling's relentless pace, who was having what some would say the race of her life, erasing a 37.2-second deficit in just one 7.5k lap to secure Sweden’s gold medal.

Diggins, however, only lost three seconds to Sundling’s final time, a testament to her strong and gutsy skiing on the day. When it was all said and done, the U.S. team claimed sixth place but today's race was about more than just individual performances—it was about racing for something bigger - your teammates. 

"Relay days are special," Brennan reflected. "You go out there not just for yourself, but for your teammates."

The Championships continue tomorrow with the men’s 50k, followed by the women’s 50k on Sunday. Today’s race was held in front of another record-breaking crowd, with over 40,000 fans packed into the stadium and likely over 60,000 lining the woods, creating an atmosphere befitting a world-class event. Tomorrow, its speculated to be even bigger.

On the first of three races for the men’s speed crew in Kvitfjell, Norway, veteran speed skiers Bryce Bennett and Ryan Cochran-Siegle led the way in seventh and 10th respectively. 

“Today was difficult,” said Bennett. “I felt like I was in shambles a little bit and yesterday we did some giant slalom training which helped me to narrow my focus for today.”

It began as a gorgeous spring day with a sunrise over the course as the skiers descended upon inspection. There was notably just one training run before the race after the second training run was canceled due to wind and poor snow conditions on the track. This meant the skiers had less time to feel out the track and test out different lines before the race. To find success in the race it would be necessary to take the right amount of risk. 

Bennett was at first thrown off by not having his second training run - as he tested out new skis and equipment in the first training run. He needed to quickly devise a plan alongside his technician for the race day. 

Despite the uncertainty, Bennett has skied this track many times before and knew how he wanted to ski on race day. Bennett skied strong from top to bottom. Although he got low in a few spots - he was able to recover without losing too much time. Bennett would ski comfortably in the top 10 to claim seventh overall. 

“It was decent, just some minor mistakes which have been plaguing me all season. But I know the skiing is there and it's just putting down a clean run,” said Bennett. 

Cochran-Siegle also had a strong approach to his day. He ran earlier than Bennett and did not have as much course information before he went. At the first big turn Cochran-Siegle ended up getting a touch low and losing time into the next section. Much like Bennett he was able to bring it back strong and also end up in 10th. 

“I tried to have a good, smooth approach given the conditions up top,” said Cochran-Siegle. “I didn't make the best turn off that key pitch so I think there's some time to be found there. But overall I was trusting in my movements.” 

Wiley Maple and Sam Morse also had good races in 21st and 24th place. It was a difficult race to make moves up with wind and poor snow conditions coming into play. The move by both Maple and Morse is an impressive feat in itself. 

The winner of the race was Italian force Dominik Paris who now has 19 downhill World Cup wins to his name - the second most for any male ski racer in history. Second place went to Swiss skier Marco Odermatt with third going to Swiss skier Stefan Rogentin. 

Overall it was a positive step forward for the men’s speed team. The men are planning to build on the day’s positive results and bring it full throttle on the last regular season downhill of the season.

The 2025 FIS Para Snowboard World Championships started with a bang as Noah Elliott and Zach Miller finished third place in banked slalom, taking home bronze medals in Big White, Canada. 

The action in Canada began with banked slalom qualifications on Wednesday, where six U.S. athletes were placed in the top eight to advance to the finals. Elliott took the top spot in the men’s LL1 classification along with Mike Schultz, who qualified third. Miller advanced in the men’s LL2 category in fourth. On the women’s side, Darian Haynes moved on in women’s UL alongside Brenna Huckaby and Kate Delson in women’s LL. 

On finals day, the sun was trying to peek out behind clouds, emitting a cool, flat light onto the course. All the U.S. men won their quarterfinals, putting them in contention for a medal. On the women’s side, Huckaby and Delson had incredibly tough matchups and did not advance to the semifinals. Huckaby finished the day fifth and Delson sixth. Haynes finished just off the podium in fourth place. 

Miller went up against 2025 overall Crystal Globe winner Emanual Perathoner (ITA) in the semifinals, putting up a great time, but could not overtake the Italian, advancing to the small final. Schultz and Elliott also had tricky matchups in the semis, leading them to advance to the LL1 small final. Elliott and Schultz went head to head in the small final, where Elliott would put down the fastest time of the day for their classification, snagging the bronze medal. Schultz finished the day fourth. Miller took on Keiji Okamoto (JPN) in the small final, winning by over five seconds to earn his seventh World Championships medal. 

"A big goal of mine this year was to continue adding to my World Championships medal collection," said Miller. "This season saw a pretty noticeable rise in our sport's skill ceiling and the competitiveness of my LL2 classification. Bringing home another World Championships podium is a great feeling, knowing I’ve been able to check off that goal!" 

The athletes take a short break before returning to the snow for snowboard cross World Championships on Sunday, Mar. 9. Tune in on FIS at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Jessie Diggins and Julia Kern made history once again, securing a silver medal in the classic team sprint at the 2025 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, Norway. This marks their second consecutive World Championships medal as a duo, following their bronze in the skate team sprint two years ago in Planica, Slovenia. 

The American pair finished just 2.90 seconds behind Sweden, led by Maja Dahlqvist and Jonna Sundling, with Switzerland rounding out the podium in third. With this performance, Diggins and Kern delivered only the second-ever World Championships medal for the U.S. in a classic event. The first came in 2017 when Diggins and Sadie Bjornsen took bronze in the same discipline in Lahti, Finland. This is the American's fourth team sprint World Championships podium, with the pairing of Diggins and Kern holding 50% of those medals. 

"We both love team events because you’re not just fighting for yourself, but for each other and for our whole team," Kern said after the race. "Today, everything came together, and we’re so proud to bring this medal home."

The team sprint consists of each skier alternating laps, completing three each for a total of six. Diggins led off for the U.S., with Kern anchoring the final push to the finish. Kern knew she had more in the tank on her third lap and strategically saved herself to go all out—an effort that helped secure the U.S. silver medal. 

"Our strategy as a team was to go quite hard from the start and make it hard and string it out. My job was to go and Julia had to be the smart one," said Diggins, in a post-race press conference. "I knew to stay behind Jonna (Sundling), for as long as I could, and it really was a challenge! But I am so insanely grateful for our tech team for their work. It takes a whole team and today they really nailed it. This World Championship medal belongs to the entire team."

This medal holds special meaning for both Diggins and Kern, who have battled through individual injuries and illnesses over the past year. Overcoming those challenges to stand together on the podium made this accomplishment even sweeter. "Winning a medal is always special, but winning it with Julia after everything we’ve been through makes it even better," Diggins said.

The two have been training partners for the last decade at the Stratton Mountain School (SMST2) in Vermont, where they’ve developed a close friendship and a deep competitive bond. 

"I also have to say I am so proud of Julia," said Diggins through tears. "I have been training with her for ten years and seeing her skiing like a boss out there was so cool. It's so cool to see how much work she has put in and overcoming all of these challenges - it's not easy, but she makes it look easy." 

This result further cements Diggins’ status as one of the most decorated American cross-country skiers of all time, bringing her career total to seven World Championship medals. For Kern, it marks her second podium finish at the World Championships. 

With the team sprint now behind them, Diggins and Kern will shift their focus to the remaining events at the World Championships, looking to carry this momentum forward.

"When I crossed the finish line today, I told Jessie happy ten year anniversary," said Julia. "We've been on the same club team for a decade at SMST2. I was really inspired and wanted to train with the best and little did I know my role model was going to become my teammate and my close friend."

The men raced as well today, with JC Schoonmaker and Gus Schumacher teaming up. It was a tight race from the go and Schoonmaker and Schumacher held tight in the front pack, in strong contention of the podium in the majority of the race. The day was ultimately won by the Norwegians, with Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo taking home his fourth straight World Championships gold, alongside teammate Erik Valnes. Silver went to Finland and third to Sweden. The American men were sixth overall, only 12 seconds out from gold.

On Monday’s giant slalom in Tarvisio, Italy Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Elisabeth Bocock scored a bronze medal at the Junior World Championships. 

Bocock was fresh off her bronze medal from the team parallel the day before and even more fired up to secure another medal in her favorite event, giant slalom. 

“The team parallel was awesome, it is so much fun to compete for something bigger than yourself, and to work to a common goal,” said Bocock.  

After the first run she was in seventh place, a second off the pace but still in great contention to move up. Fellow teammate Liv Mortiz also delivered a strong first run that put her in fourth place, close to the podium. 

On the second run everything was shaking up. U.S. skier Logan Grosdidier was sitting pretty in first for over 23 skiers as she annihilated the field on her second run. Not only did Grosdidier win the second run but she did it in dominance over a half-second lead on the whole field. 

Toward the end of the field, the final skiers were able to catch up, and the podium ended up similar to the first run, with Bocock in bronze. The winner of the race was Italian Giorgia Collomb, and in second was Swiss Stefanie Grob. 

Unfortunately, Moritz did not finish. Grosdidier ended up in seventh. Her sister Tatum Grosdidier landed in 17th, and Kaitlin Keane in 30th.
