PARK CITY, Utah (October 9, 2024) — U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced expanded partnerships with Stifel Financial Corp (NYSE: SF) and Toyota (NYSE: TM). Stifel will become the official Team Naming Partner of the Stifel U.S. Para Alpine Ski Team and Toyota the official Team Naming Partner of the Toyota U.S. Para Snowboard Team. 

In addition to Stifel’s title sponsorship of the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team, which was established in October 2022, and the naming of the Stifel U.S. Cross Country Ski Team, Stifel U.S. Freestyle Ski Team and Stifel U.S. Freeski Team in March 2023, the global investment banking and wealth management firm will also be the title sponsor of the Stifel U.S. Para Alpine Ski Team. The partnership makes Stifel the Team Naming Partner of all ski teams under the U.S. Ski & Snowboard organization. 

Toyota rejoined U.S. Ski & Snowboard in August 2021 as the organization’s Official Mobility Partner and Official Vehicle, focusing on increasing athlete opportunities and successes on and off the snow. It is the brand’s first team naming partnership. The expanded naming rights for both Stifel and Toyota are effective immediately.

Para alpine and Para snowboard were reintegrated under the U.S. Ski & Snowboard organization in May 2023 and had an extremely successful first season back. Seven-time Paralympic medalist Laurie Stephens and two-time Paralympic medalist Andrew Kurka led the Para alpine team this year, earning a World Cup win and five podiums, respectively. Exciting newcomers like Audrey Crowley and Jesse Keefe offer promising talent leading into the 2025 World Championships and the 2026 Paralympic Winter Games in Milan Cortina. On the Para snowboard side, three-time Paralympic gold medalist Brenna Huckaby and two-time Paralympic medalist Noah Elliott had standout seasons, each bringing home multiple FIS Crystal Globes. 

“We’re thrilled that Stifel and Toyota are expanding their partnerships to also invest directly into our Para sports,” said President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard Sophie Goldschmidt. “Stifel’s commitment to supporting all of our ski teams has been incredible. It’s a true partnership that has had such a meaningful impact on our sports and athletes. Toyota has consistently shown their commitment to supporting our athletes on and off the snow, and having them as a Team Naming Partner further demonstrates their dedication.”

Through this support, Para alpine and Para snowboard will receive more financial support, increasing the team's budget, allowing the programs to further develop.

“Having Stifel on board with our team is so exciting,” said Laurie Stephens, seven-time Paralympic medalist and Stifel U.S. Para Alpine Ski Team athlete. “The impact they have made with the Stifel U.S. Ski Team so far has been great, and I am thrilled to see what we can do together moving forward.” 

“I am really proud and excited to be representing U.S. Ski & Snowboard again this season and to have Toyota as our Team Naming Partner,” said Noah Elliott, Toyota U.S. Para Snowboard Team athlete and two-time Paralympic medalist. “Toyota’s motto is ‘Let’s Go Places,’ which is exactly what they allow us to do as our Team Naming Partner. Their support gives us the opportunity to get the proper training and support we need to be at our best for competitions and empowers us to get better and better every day.”

“The Stifel U.S. Para Alpine Ski Team is filled with stories of hard work and triumph, and we’re excited to support these inspiring athletes on their road to success,” said Ron Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel. “As the Paralympics continue to grow as a global sports event, we’re pleased to sponsor the Stifel U.S. Para Alpine Ski Team through the next Paralympic Winter Games cycle in March 2026.”

“Toyota’s passion for innovation and commitment to empowering all people truly embodies the Paralympic spirit and we continue to support Paralympians by becoming the official Team Naming Partner of the Toyota U.S. Para Snowboard Team,” said Dedra DeLilli, Toyota VP Vehicle Marketing & Communications.

U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced today that Megan Smallhouse of the Stifel U.S. Freestyle Ski Team aerials team is hanging up her aerials competition skis after five seasons with the team. 

Smallhouse, originally from Reno, Nevada, started her career as a successful gymnast before pivoting to aerials skiing in 2015. Prior to joining the national team in 2019, Smallhouse began her aerials training in Lake Placid at the Olympic Training Center and with Park City Ski & Snowboard at the Utah Olympic Park to build her skills and foster her love for the sport. Just four years into her career, Smallhouse made her first World Cup start, finishing 18th in the Lake Placid World Cup in her first appearance. 

Over the next four years, Smallhouse became a staple on the NorAm and World Cup circuits, earning 19 NorAm podiums and four wins. In 2021, she was named to the widely successful World Championships team, bringing home the second-best U.S. women’s aerials performance, finishing seventh overall. Across five seasons, Smallhouse made 19 World Cup appearances, finishing in the top 10 six times. During the 2023-24 season, Megan finished on top at the 2024 U.S. Freestyle Championships, alongside teammate Winter Vinecki in second. 

“My time with the Stifel U.S. Ski Team was some of the best of my life, said Smallhouse. “Over these five years, I had the honor of representing my country. I was able to grow both as a person and as an athlete, and I was able to overcome a major injury and return to competition. I am grateful for the opportunities given to me by U.S. Ski and Snowboard to pursue my athletic career as well as my academic career. Although I am choosing to move on to the next chapter of my life, I will forever cherish the memories I made as an athlete.” 

Throughout her career, Smallhouse faced numerous challenges, including injuries and the intense pressure of competition. However, her resilience and determination allowed her to overcome these obstacles and emerge stronger. Her ability to bounce back from setbacks and continue pushing the boundaries of the sport has been a testament to her unwavering dedication and passion for aerial skiing.

Smallhouse recently graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Kinesiology. She plans to continue her education while working in applied physical therapy settings to enhance her learning. Smallhouse noted that one of the biggest takeaways from her time as an athlete was the knowledge she gained from the strength coaches, trainers and therapists she worked with. “Their creativity and dedication to me and the other athletes they worked with have inspired me to pursue a similar career path. I am planning on pursuing my doctorate of physical therapy so I can give back to the athletes in generations to come.”

Congratulations, Megan, on an incredible career. We wish you all the best on your next adventure.

Connor Curran of Cincinnati, OH is an up-and-comer on the Stifel U.S. Freestyle Ski Team aerials team and one of the greatest young talents in the aerials world. After a few successful seasons on the NorAm tour, Curran started full-time on the World Cup circuit for the 2023-24 season and immediately made an impact. Throughout this season, he earned his first top 10, first super finals, first top five, and first podium. In February of 2024, Curran took home his first-ever podium in front of the rowdy Deer Valley crowd, placing second at the Intermountain Health Freestyle International. Additionally, he took home a third place at the 2024 FIS Junior Ski World Championships. Curran is an athlete to keep your eye on in the seasons ahead. 

We sat down with Connor to discuss his accomplishments and goals for the upcoming seasons.

Q: What initially drew you to aerials skiing?

Connor Curran: I was initially drawn to aerials because of the craziness of the sport, and I’ve always loved skiing and flipping.

Q: When you were younger, getting into the sport, what were your goals?

CC: My goal when I was younger was to make the Stifel U.S. Ski Team and go to the Olympics one day.

Q: What is one thing that you’re most proud of in your career so far/what is your biggest accomplishment?

CC: My biggest accomplishment so far has been making the A team this year and getting second at the Intermountain Health Freestyle International at Deer Valley last season.

Q: What is your ultimate goal?

CC: My ultimate goal is to walk away from the Olympics with a medal.

Q: Are there any moments that you’ve experienced in your career that didnt seem real?

CC: Getting second at a World Cup on home soil didn’t really feel real when it happened.

Q: Who were the athletes that you looked up to when you were younger, or who are they now? 

CC: I looked up to Justin Schoenefeld and Quinn Dehlinger the most when I was younger. Now, I look up to Justin Schoenefeld, Quinn Dehlinger and Chris Lillis.

Two-time Olympian and athlete on the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team, Tricia Mangan, is once again teaming up with her brother, Andrew Mangan, to raise awareness for the High Fives Foundation - a cause close to Andrew’s heart. 

“I am so excited to be rowing in the Head of the Charles Regatta again this year with my brother Andrew in the Mixed Inclusion Doubles event and with my entire family (parents and five siblings) in the Directors Challenge to raise money for High Fives Foundation,” said Mangan.

After rowing competitively throughout high school Andrew suffered a spinal cord injury in 2016 that left him paralyzed from the shoulder down. He has since gained a new perspective and drive to get back into the sport, which led him to the High Fives Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit organization helping those with spinal cord injuries return to the world of outdoor sports. 

“I really admire Andrew and think his story is a true testament to the power of never-ending hard work and a positive attitude. It will be really special to be able to row with him and even more fun to row as an entire family,” said Mangan.

Mangan is not just a successful alpine athlete but has worked to support her brother in his recovery by teaming up at the Head of the Charles to raise money and awareness for the organization. 

“As the least experienced rower in the family, I’ll be doing my best not to slow down the boat, but I’m most looking forward to a really special event that always brings my family and our rowing friends together and to raise money for High Fives which is such an incredible organization that helps athletes, like my brother Andrew, get back to the sports they love after life-changing injuries.”

The sibling duo plans to race to raise awareness about the foundation and shed a positive light on its work. The regatta is set to take place in Boston, MA during Head of the Charles Oct. 18 - 20.
