On Friday’s World Championships giant slalom, River Radamus led the way for the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team with a 12th place finish. Radamus notably the third fastest on his second run.

“I was disappointed in my first run, did not feel like I pushed hard enough,” said Radamus. “I realized I had nothing to lose so I laid it all out on my second run.”

First run was very difficult conditions with an extremely icy track and long course, leading to fatigue and mistakes by many skiers causing large gaps from the winning time. Almost five seconds separated first place and 30th.  On second run the time gaps closed a little making room for both Radamus and U.S. skier Brian McLaughlin to make moves up the results list.

The new giant slalom World Champion crown went to Swiss skier Marco Odermatt, who now has two gold medals from these races. Second place went to fellow teammate Loic Meillard and third place went to Austrian skier Marco Schwarz.

Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team athlete Tommy Ford also raced; he did not finish second run.

Now Radamus, Ford and McLaughlin will prepare for the Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup giant slalom, part of the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, later this month.

“I am really excited, never raced at Palisades before and I have been missing racing for a home crowd so I can’t wait to go put on a show,” said Radamus.

The final men’s event for World Championships is the slalom on Sunday.

Next weekend, Copper Mountain Resort in Copper, Colo. will welcome back the best freeskiers and snowboarders for two days of unrivaled competition at the Dew Tour. Skiers and snowboarders from around the world will travel to Copper and compete in various events. Dew Tour kicks off Feb. 24th and goes until Sunday, Feb. 26th. 

This year, 14 U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes were invited to compete in the slopestyle, halfpipe, super streetstyle, and superpipe high air & best trick jam contests. Dew Tours signature super streetstyle competition will be doubled in size this year which will allow for a larger, more diverse athlete pool and gives onsite spectators a better viewing experience. All invited halfpipe competitors will get the chance to compete in the superpipe high air & best trick jam, where they will showcase their amplitude, creativity, and style. 

Olympic gold medalist Alex Hall will be competing in the Dew Tour slopestyle event after having a very successful season thus far, with a silver medal at the Laax Open and multiple top 10 results. Hall will be a great skier to watch out for as he is hungry to add more podiums to his repertoire this season. Joining him will be teammate Colby Stevenson who is coming off of a win at the Kings & Queens of Corbet's in Jackson Hole, Wyo., as well as a gold medal at the Aspen X Games slopestyle event.  

Reigning 2021 Dew Tour gold medalist, Alex Ferriera, will be returning to the halfpipe to claim his title on Saturday, Feb. 25th, along with several teammates who have been around the world competing in World Cups, most recently in Calgary, Canada and Mammoth Lakes, Calif. 

On the snowboard front, Colorado locals Red Gerard and Taylor Gold are set to drop in. Gerard will compete in slopestyle and Gold in halfpipe. U.S. Snowboard Pro Team athlete Sonora Alba will be one of the halfpipe ladies to look out for during this event. Alba's first Dew Tour was back in 2020 which secured her a spot to the U.S. Burton Open and eventually landed her onto the U.S. Pro Snowboard Halfpipe team in 2021. In the 2022-23 season, the snowboarders have competed around the world, most recently in halfpipe and slopestyle contests in Laax, Switzerland, Aspen, Colo., Mammoth Mountain, Cali., and Calgary, Canada.

On a sunny day in the French alps, Mikaela Shiffrin of the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team won gold in the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships giant slalom. It is her 13th World Championships medal, securing her the record of the most individual World Championships medals from any skier in the modern era.

Nina O’Brien continued her fantastic World Championships after winning gold in the team event earlier this week, taking 11th place in the GS and a scorching second-fastest time in the second run.

Shiffrin, who has five GS wins on the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup this season, held the lead after the first run by .12 seconds over hometown French skier Tessa Worley. She skied confidently at the top of the run, but a bobble near the finish made the win uncertain. However, when she crossed the line, she had the lead by .19 seconds. Shiffrin gasped at the time, put her head in her hands and lay down in the snow.

Shiffrin had raced the giant slalom on the same track at World Cup Finals last season and had also held first place after first run, but finished in seventh after second run. It made this win that much sweeter.

“I feel really emotional right now," said Shiffrin after the race. “After last year's finals here, I was leading in the first run and the second run in the sun and I lost so much time, I was so sure it was going to be the same thing today. I’ve never been that nervous in my life. I honestly can’t believe it.”

It was Shiffrin’s first ever gold medal in a World Championships giant slalom and her seventh World Champs gold in history; she has gold in four slaloms, a super-G and an alpine combined from previous years. She had medaled in GS in the previous three World Champs, but this was her first win in the event. She had also not won a gold in any of her previous 10 events in the Olympics or World Championships until today.

“The most important thing all season is if I can just focus on really good skiing, so I tried to do the same today,” said Shiffrin, who is just one World Cup win away from becoming the winningest alpine skier of all time. “It was hard today. You get to World Championships and you want the medal so much and you get nervous—and it’s just harder!”

The win also broke the tie she set on February 8 with Norwegian skier Kjetil André Aamodt for the most individual World Championships medals in the modern era with 12 medals. Shiffrin now holds 13—and the record for the most medals. Having only started 16 World Champs races in her career, she has an 81% chance of taking home a medal every time she gets in the start gate.

Behind Shiffrin, Worley fell in her second run in did not finish. Federica Brignone of Italy took the silver and Ragnhild Mowinckel of Norway was bronze.

Rounding out the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team, Katie Hensien was 23rd. Hensien also had a very strong second run, placing seventh in the run and only .28 seconds off of Shiffrin.

This brings Shiffrin’s tally to two medals in Courchevel-Meribel. She took home a silver in the super-G last week, and will look for another medal in the slalom on Sunday.

The men next race giant slalom tomorrow, Feb. 17. Watch the re-air of the women’s giant slalom on Saturday at 2:30pm ET on NBC presented by Stifel.

This past week, Feb. 4-11, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyo., held their sixth annual Kings & Queens of Corbet's event. U.S. Freeski Team athlete Colby Stevenson, who this season alone has won an X Games gold medal and had numerous top-10 World Cup results, was selected to participate and ultimately ended up winning the entire thing.

The King's & Queen's of Corbet's is a prestigious event held annually at one of the most legendary couloirs in the World. Invited skiers and snowboarders came together to huck themselves off of a 10-20 foot couloir into a steep chute with rock walls on each side. Throughout the 'course' there are several man-made features to give the athletes a chance to show more than one trick. First, you drop into the couloir and on the way to the bottom there are two large jumps that you can choose to go off of, otherwise, you are skiing and riding down variable backcountry terrain until you hit the finish area. Thankfully for the athletes, it had just snowed a good amount the night before the event, which provided soft landings for each competitor to showcase their tricks. 

Stevenson was one of the 24 invited athletes to compete at the most famous line in North America. Days prior to this event, Stevenson had just competed at the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix in Mammoth Lakes, CA, as well as X Games in Aspen, CO, where he earned a gold and silver medal. Following his success in the slopestyle world, he was able to translate those skills to the big mountain where he took the top spot for the Kings & Queens of Corbet's, among some of the best freeride skiers in the World. 

Stevenson reflects on what this experience meant to him, "It was so fun to compete in my first big mountain competition, and have it be in the famous Corbet's Couloir. Pretty wild to go from a month of slopestyle skiing straight into it, but was definitely in the competition mindset. Every person that agrees to do that event has a screw loose, so it was fun to watch everyone send it. I'm excited to push this side of my skiing a lot more in years to come." 

We look forward to seeing more backcountry skiing from Stevenson in the near future.

MINNESOTA SET TO BRING THE WORLD TO WIRTH - HOSTING THE 2024 LOPPET CUP, THE COOP FIS CROSS COUNTRY WORLD CUP IN MINNEAPOLIS

The Loppet Foundation will host the Loppet Cup over President’s Day weekend in February 2024 in Theodore Wirth Park

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Release courtesy of The Loppet Foundation

MINNEAPOLIS, February 15, 2023  — The Loppet Foundation, Share Winter Foundation and U.S. Ski & Snowboard will welcome the best cross country ski racers in the world to Minneapolis, Minnesota’s Wirth Park for the COOP FIS Cross Country World Cup over President’s Day weekend, Feb. 17-19, 2024.* The Loppet Foundation and Share Winter will serve as hosts of the Loppet Cup, taking place on the Loppet’s world class cross country ski trails - setting the stage for one of the only World Cups to be held in a major metropolitan area - and the first on U.S. soil in two decades. 

The FIS Cross Country World Cup Tour is the annual global tour for elite athletes, comprised of a series of distance and sprint races over the course of each winter season. Expected to be present at the Loppet Cup is three-time Olympic medalist Jessie Diggins. Diggins is a native of nearby Afton, Minnesota and was the first American athlete to win a gold medal in Olympic cross country ski competition. She was key to securing this international competition for Minnesota. Other U.S. and Minnesota-local athletes will also be representing the U.S. Cross Country Ski Team in the Loppet Cup, a unique chance to ski in front of a hometown crowd. 

“I’m excited to give ski fans from around the U.S. a chance to see the action up close for the first time in over 20 years,” said Diggins. “I am so proud to represent Minnesota as one of the first American athletes to win Olympic gold in cross country, and now to bring the sport I love to the state I call home.”

The Loppet Foundation was ready to host a World Cup in mid-March 2020. The event was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Loppet Foundation looks forward to hosting in 2024 while building on the preparation for the event in 2020.

The 2024 Loppet Cup, hosted by Share Winter Foundation, will be free and open to the public, with races held on Saturday, February 17 and Sunday, February 18 and a free community ski day on President’s Day, Monday, February 19.  

“The Loppet is thrilled to bring the world to Wirth Park and to showcase on an international stage the work this organization is doing to expand access to the sport of cross country skiing and the outdoors,” said Claire Wilson, executive director of the Loppet. “While it is unusual for an event of this size and scope to be hosted by a small nonprofit, we believe it is important to shine a light on our unique venue in the heart of a city where the wellbeing of all is promoted through outdoor adventure. We look forward to sharing our vision for a just and equitable winter sport environment with the world - while also cheering on our favorite athletes on the same trails where hundreds of Minnesotans have learned to love cross country skiing.”  

“We are thrilled to work with the Loppet Foundation and Share Winter Foundation to bring back a cross country World Cup to the states,” said President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard Sophie Goldschmidt. “We know that this event will be a huge success and allow our athletes to showcase their incredible talent in front of a community that has always supported this sport.”

“Share Winter is excited to partner with the Loppet Foundation to bring this spectacular event to the community and we  hope it will inspire the next generation of skiers,” said Constance Beverley, CEO of the Share Winter Foundation.

“The Loppet Cup is yet another in a string of world-class sporting events Minnesota is hosting,” said Executive Director for Explore Minnesota Lauren Bennett McGinty. “We are proud to be a four season destination for sports enthusiasts from all over the world, and no one does winter quite like Minnesota. With more than 2,000 miles of groomed cross country ski trails, skiing is a highly accessible sport which can be done in every corner of the state. Winter sports and related businesses are integral to driving and sustaining Minnesota’s tourism economy, and we cannot wait to share our great state with the world. We encourage residents and visitors alike to start planning their 2024 President's Day Weekend now!”

Preceding their arrival in Minneapolis, World Cup athletes will descend on Alberta, Canada to complete two sprint races and two distance races from February 9-13 as part of their North American visit. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Minneapolis organization in helping raise the profile of cross country skiing as we get set to host two North American stops for the COOP FIS Cross Country World Cups.” said Norbert Meier, Events Chair, Alberta World Cup Society.

Come learn more and see some of the nation’s top racers on the course at the announcement celebration event on Saturday, February 18 at The Trailhead (1221 Theodore Wirth Parkway, Minneapolis) at 11am. Remarks will be made by former Minneapolis mayor RT Rybak, Share Winter Foundation, the Loppet Foundation, and Explore MN. More information on the World Cup event will be available on the event’s official website, www.loppetcup.com, or on Facebook and Instagram @loppetcup.

In Wednesday’s individual parallel event at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team athletes River Radamus and Nina O’Brien raced straight after a gold medal team event performance and qualifier the day prior.

After a run on both the red and blue courses, O’Brien and Radamus did not make it on to the next round, however their spirits remained high.

“I think this event is fun and I'm really happy that I qualified for the final. It was close at the end, and I tried,” said O’Brien. “I felt really locked in, skiing with a lot of confidence so I was excited to come in today but didn't risk enough on the first run I think I should have shifted into another gear,” said Radamus.

The winner for the women’s parallel went to Norwegian skier Maria Therese Tviberg, the silver went to Swiss skier Wendy Holdener and bronze went to Thea Louise Stjernesund. On the men’s side, the gold went to German skier Alexander Schmid, second place went to Austrian Dominik Raschner and third place went to Norwegian skier Timon Haugan. Regardless of Wednesday’s results, both American skiers are very excited about the golden result from Tuesday.

“I'll take the tradeoff of yesterday for being a little bit more tired today and not coming out firing the way I wanted to,” said Radamus.

“This is the first medal ceremony ever for me. I think we're all excited,” said O’Brien.

On Tuesday, the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team skied to gold in the team parallel event. It was the first time USA has gotten a medal in this event at a World Championships.

Looking ahead it is a very busy technical event schedule for skiers racing multiple events with the women’s giant slalom on Thursday, men’s giant slalom Friday and slalom to close out the World Championships on Saturday and Sunday.

“It's a busy last few days for sure, but I feel like my skiing it's in a good spot," said O'Brien. "I'm so excited for GS."

The women’s giant slalom kicks off in Meribel at 3:45 a.m. ET.

The Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team dominated the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships team event, taking home their first ever parallel gold medal and the team’s second medal of the World Champs. The team was made up of athletes Nina O’Brien, Paula Moltzan, Tommy Ford and River Radamus for the starters, and Katie Hensien and Luke Winters as substitutes.

It was a bright and sunny day in Meribel, France on a short parallel race track that pits teams against each other from the start to the finish. Teams have a maximum of six competitors (four starters and two substitutes) with two men and two women. In each heat, teams face each other and race head-to-head with the first skier crossing the line to secure a point for their team. The first team to three points advances to the next round. If the heat is tied, the team with the fastest combined team between their quickest woman and man skier move onto the next round.

The Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team came in and quickly defeated Poland to make it to the quarterfinals, then took three of the four races in the semifinals against Italy to advance to the medal round. In the semifinals, the U.S. beat their North American compatriot Canadians to move onto the gold medal round where they faced the team event 2021 World Champions, the Norwegians.

“It’s incredible,” said Radamus. “To have it in my first event as a team makes it even more special to me. I love this team. All these people have been pushing so hard at this for a long time so to finally reach the summit for this team is really special.”

It was a close race that kept everyone on their toes. O’Brien had some trouble, but eeked out a win over Kristin Lysdahl. Radamus kept it close versus Alexander Steen Olsen, but lost by .04 seconds. The undefeated Moltzan faced Thea Louise Stjernesund and the two tied, which meant it came down to Ford to bring home the win. Ford faced Timon Haugan, who got stuck in the start gate and Ford was able to ski down into his teammates’ arms for the win.

The was the first ever medal in this event for the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team, who just missed the medals in the 2022 Olympic Games, taking fourth place. It is also the first medal for all six athletes and the first team gold of the 2023 World Championships.

“It feels unbelievable,” said O’Brien. “But it’s six-times sweeter to share it with my teammates. We didn’t expect it. I felt really good about our team and knew we were skiing fast, but anything can happen in parallel. I’m really proud of everyone on our team and really happy to be a part of it.”

“It was great to be out there with the family, the team,” said Ford. “We all have strong skiing and I had faith in them and I just put down the best skiing I could. It just shows that we have some depth—we train together, we travel together all the time and we’re always pushing each other. It’s fun to actually work together!”

The Norwegians took silver. The Canadians continued their impressive World Championships performance with a bronze medal.

The parallel events continue next with men’s and women’s parallel qualifiers taking place today, Feb. 14, and finals tomorrow, Feb. 15.

RESULTS
Team event

The U.S. Snowboard team had a big showing across the board in Calgary, highlighted by pro athletes Julia Marino and Dusty Henrickesen, who are on a hot streak after both winning in Mammoth and taking first and second in Calgary. 

The Calgary Snow Rodeo hosted its second World Cup of the season, in perfect timing for athletes to get one more contest under their belt before some of the team travels to Georgia (the country!) for the 2023 Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships. With both the men and women competing in slopestyle and halfpipe, the U.S. had several athletes not only advance to finals but many in the top-five. 

Julia Marino took home her second first-place trophy of the past two weeks. She won the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain, traveled straight to Calgary and walked away with another win. For the men, Dusty Henricksen also shined, by taking home second-place a week after being atop the podium in Mammoth. 

Marino and Henricksen Atop FIS Overall Standings

Marino, who made it clear that she would be hard to beat from the get-go, kept the momentum rolling into the finals, where she threw down a perfect 50-50 to frontside lipslide to fakie on the rail section to a switch backside bluntslide cork 900 weddle and backside 720 melon. She finished the slopestyle finals with a high score of 78.36 and nabbed her seventh career World Cup win. With her win in the Calgary Snow Rodeo, Marino takes hold of the top spot on the FIS Snowboard slopestyle World Cup standings - 83 points ahead of her nearest competitor. With the yellow bib in hand, Marino also moved into third place on the Park & Pipe overall standings. 

Henricksen has had a break-out season with three podiums, one win and two second places. Going into World Championships, Henricksen also takes the number one spot in the FIS Snowboard slopestyle standings, and similar to Marino, is third overall for the Park & Pipe overall FIS standings. 

Along with Henricksen, there were several U.S. men in the finals. Chris Corning, who is coming off a podium result in Mammoth finished the weekend in the top-10, in ninth. Along with Corning, there were four more in the finals. Jake Canter had a great run and landed himself in the fifth position, with Brock Crouch not far behind in seventh. Fynn Bullock-Womble was 14th and Sean FitzSimons 15th.

U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced the 31 athletes that will represent the U.S. Snowboard Team across four disciplines at the 2023 FIS Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships in Bakuriani, Georgia, Feb. 19 - March 5, 2023. 

The athletes nominated to the 2023 World Championships team bring a depth of talent at the World Cup, World Championship and Olympic level. With 15 Olympians on the roster along with several World Championship veterans, the athletes of the U.S. Snowboard Team look to be strong medal contenders across all disciplines.

The slopestyle team is led by 2-time Olympian and 2019 World Champion Chris Corning, coming off of a third place finish at the recent Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain. He’s joined by fellow 2022 Olympian Sean FitzSimons, making his first World Championships appearance, along with Jake Canter and Brock Crouch. Corning, Canter and Crouch all landed in the top 10 in the Calgary Snow Rodeo, the last World Cup stop before the World Championships. They’ll seek to carry that momentum into Georgia. Over on the women’s side, Ty Schnorrbusch is making it a family affair, competing in slopestyle alongside her sister, Brianna, who will make her World Championships debut in snowboardcross. 2022 Olympian Courtney Rummel, Jade Thurgood and Rebecca Flynn round out the slopestyle team. 

Maddie Mastro is coming into World Championships on a hot streak after a pair of third place finishes at Mammoth and the Laax Open halfpipe competitions. She also scored a silver medal at X Games 2023, landing her signature double crippler at X Games for the first time. She looks to improve on her 2021 World Championships performance, where she took home second place, and bring home the gold in 2023. She’ll compete alongside 2022 Olympian Zoe Kalapos and Kinsley White.

The men’s halfpipe team will be represented by World Championship veterans Chase Josey, Chase Blackwell and Joey Okesson, along with 2022 Olympian Lucas Foster making his first appearance at World Championships.

The snowboardcross team talent runs deep with 2022 Olympic gold medalists Nick Baumgartner and Lindsey Jacobellis leading the squad. Jacobellis is the most dominant snowboardcross athlete in history, with three Olympic medals from five Olympic appearances, five World Championships titles and 31 World Cup wins. Faye Gulini and Jake Vedder each landed on the podium in second place at the most recent World Cup in Cortina d’Ampezzo earlier this month, and they’ll look to bring that heat into World Championships. Mick Dierdorff comes in with solid World Championships experience, taking home gold in both the men’s and team snowboardcross events at the 2019 World Championships. 2022 Olympian Stacy Gaskill rounds out the team along with Senna Leith and Brianna Schnorrbusch.

The alpine snowboard team will be led by 2022 Olympian Cody Winters, who finished in the top 10 at the recent Bansko, Bulgaria World Cup. World Championships veterans Ryan Rosencranz, Iris Pflum and Alexa Bullis will join him, along with Grace Domino, Dylan Udolf and Steven MacCutcheon, all competing at their first World Championships.

“We are bringing many of our up-and-coming stars along with several athletes on the team competing in their first World Championships,” said U.S. Snowboard Team Director Rick Bower. “Headlined by Lindsey Jacobellis who is a five-time World Champion and will be competing in her eighth World Championships, I’m looking forward to seeing what this younger group of athletes is capable of, especially when they have athletes like Lindsey showing the next generation how a champion operates.”

This year’s Snowboard World Championships will begin with alpine snowboard, with finals going down on Feb. 19 for parallel giant slalom and Feb. 21 for parallel slalom. Next, slopestyle finals will be on Feb. 27, followed by halfpipe finals on March 3. Snowboardcross individual events are up next, on March 3, with the team event going down the next day on March 4. Big air finals will close out World Champs on March 5. Fans can follow all of the action in Georgia live on Peacock and skiandsnowboard.live with tape-delayed action on NBC and CNBC.

In Sunday’s World Championships men’s downhill, Erik Arvidsson led the way for the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team men with a 17th place finish.

“The skiing was really good. I stepped it up and left it all out there,” said Arvidsson. “I just had one costly mistake up top but that’s what happens when you are risking it and that’s what happens at World Championships when everyone is putting it on the line.”

The rest of the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team crew ended up in the top 30: Ryan Cochran-Siegle in 24th, Jared Goldberg in 26th and Travis Ganong in 28th.  

“I'm still struggling a little bit with blind dark turns ever since my crash in Kitzbuehel,” said Goldberg who went down hard in Kitzbuehel the day after his career-best fourth place finish there. “Everything's coming at me pretty fast, so all week I've been pushing through those barriers. Today I was trying the best I could to just push through things being pretty uncomfortable.”

It was another exciting day for team Norway, Switzerland and Canada. Swiss favorite and 2022 overall Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup champion Marco Odermatt skied a flawless and aggressive downhill to win by almost half a second. The silver medal went to Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, and Canada continued its impressive World Championships with Cameron Alexander in third with a bronze.

The speed men will now travel back to the United States to rest and prepare for the upcoming speed series in Aspen, Colorado. The tech men take over, with the team event scheduled for February 14.
