BIO

Lauren Macuga hails from Park City, Utah, where she was groomed into an already successful alpine career with Park City Ski & Snowboard. Macuga is the 2022 World Juniors bronze medalist. She spent her first full World Cup season on the speed tour in the 2022-23 season where she scored her first World Cup points in St. Moritz in downhill.

In the 2023-24 season Macuga had a breakout year in super-G. Her top finish was a fifth place in Kvitfjell, Norway. She also secured a seventh place and a tenth place during the season. Macuga ended the season at her first ever World Cup finals. 

Macuga continued her strong skiing into 2025 when she won her first World Cup in the St. Anton super-G. She also made history as the first U.S. woman to win a super-G at that venue. Macuga then went on to win a bronze medal at her first World Championships appearance in the super-G. In Kvitfjell she also landed second place in the downhill. 

A fun fact about Macuga is that she has two siblings with ties to the team. Sam Macuga - a ski jumper and Alli Macuga - a mogul skier.
