Red Gerard and Hailey Langland led the U.S. Snowboard team with a pair of second-place finishes in snowboard slopestyle at the 25th Anniversary Land Rover U.S. Grand Prix World Cup at Buttermilk in Aspen, Colo. 

It was all style and smiles for three-time X Games medalist Langland during the Grand Prix as she battled spring conditions, including a downward wind and slushy landings, in the first Beijing 2022 U.S. Olympic tryout event. 

While she is currently working through an elbow injury, Langland claimed center stage through three stylish and consistent runs. Langland increased her amplitude and technicality throughout the day by first styling a backside 540 then to a cab 720 by her final run. Austria’s Anna Gasser won, with Finland’s Enni Rukajarvi in third. U.S. Snowboard teammate Jamie Anderson ended the day in sixth and Julia Marino in eighth. 

“I had a rocky start out here in Aspen last week (at the World Championships),” said Langland. “But this is such a refresher because I came into this week with no expectations. It’s a huge surprise for me. All the girls are riding so well. I am so in love with snowboarding, and I want to keep learning new tricks.”

Olympic gold medalist Gerard came out on top for the U.S. men, securing an early podium towards Olympic team nomination heading into next season. Gerard shared the podium with Norway’s Marcus Kleveland in first and Canada’s Mark McMorris in third. Among the U.S. Snowboard Team athletes, Dusty Henricksen took fifth, and Judd Henkes landed in ninth.  

“To be honest, it was crazy going through qualifications, which is easily the most stressful process. You have 60 riders cut down to six in each heat. Once you make finals, it’s a bit of stress relief,” said Gerard. “It was really fun. And to get a podium and get an early start going into next season is really cool. I am really happy about it, just to get back into the contest rhythm after this crazy year.” 

Gerard came out firing the first run, landing his first switchback 1620 Weddle in competition. His first run proved to be to stand the test of time as Gerard battled springtime slush on the course throughout his remaining runs.

Henricksen, putting up a fight as well, gave an incredible showing against a stacked field with a consistent front 180 to switch back 360 in the rail section along with a cab double 1260 nose grab in his final run. Most notably during his third run, Henkes held on where he stomped a clean rail section and a final switchback 1440 Stalefish, although catching heelside resulting in a crash at the end of his last run. 

Tomorrow concludes competition at the 25th Anniversary of the Land Rover Grand Prix with freeski and snowboard halfpipe finals.

The U.S. Freeski Team dominated in the slopestyle finals on Saturday with Colby Stevenson taking the victory and Mac Forehand claiming second at the Land Rover U.S. Grand Prix World Cup at Buttermilk in Aspen, Colo.

The Grand Prix 25th Anniversary served as the first Olympic tryout event for Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. With sunshine and spring conditions on full display, U.S. athletes battled it out to get one step closer to the U.S. Snowboard Olympic Team.

Two-time X Games Gold Medalist Colby Stevenson led the men throughout the day putting down his first and third runs. On his first run, Stevenson ran with a solid rail section including a right 270 to right 630 and back-to-back double corks into the finish. Stevenson improved on his third run with an aggressive rails section and massive third air. “To get the win and get one step closer to the Olympics, which obviously is one of my goals, is amazing,” said Stevenson. “So I am stoked.”

U.S. Freeski Team member Mac Forehand showed his perseverance while competing at the Grand Prix, continuing his momentum from a fourth-place finish at the Aspen 2021 FIS Snowboard and Freeski World Championships last week.  Forehand landed his first run complete with a strong rail section and a double cork 1440 Tail to Japan grab to close it out. His score held throughout the entire event to secure a spot on the podium.

“I am super happy. I had a pretty bad practice because I couldn’t put my run down,” said Forehand. “Just to be able to get up there, focus, and put my first run down took a lot of weight off my shoulders. Colby is just the king. He’s on top killing it every single year, so huge congrats to him.”

Sweden’s Henrik Harlaut found redemption following a difficult week at the World Championships, earning third place to round out the podium. 

Alex Hall, who claimed bronze at World Championships last week, also fought to the finish among a steep field of talent, ending the day in fifth place. Hall showcased consistent skiing throughout his three runs, including a stylish nose-butter in the rails and a double cork 1620 double seatbelt grab on the final air. Teammate Cody LaPlante finished the day in seventh.

Two-time Olympian and U.S. Freeski Team member Maggie Voisin, who just returned to competition after her second ACL surgery in two years, put on an impressive performance, finishing in a respectable fifth place. She put down runs full of effortless style including her signature rodeo on the final air. 

“More than anything, I am grateful to be back skiing,” said Voisin. “Having knee surgery in August and back-to-back knee surgeries the past few years has mentally been really tough. So I’ve worked really hard! All these girls out here are inspiring me to push myself. This is what I love to do and I couldn’t ask for anything better.” 

France’s Tess Ledeux took first, Great Britain's Kristy Muir second, and Russia’s Anastasia Tatalina earned third. U.S. Freeski Rookie Team members Marin Hamil and Rell Harwood finished in sixth and seventh respectively.

Tomorrow concludes the competition at the 25th Anniversary of the Land Rover U.S. Grand Prix with freeski and snowboard halfpipe finals.

On a gorgeous sunny day in Veysonnaz, Switzerland, Hagen Kearney finished in second place in the 2021 FIS Snowboardcross World Cup Finals to secure the Nation’s Cup for the U.S. Snowboard Team. Lindsey Jacobellis had her 100th World Cup start in her storied career, finishing in fifth.

Kearney rode cleanly throughout the day, but after taking second in the semis to push into the big finals, it was an all-out wild ride. There was action the whole way down with two crashes, and Kearney barely came out unscathed to take second. “I worked super hard and started off the season super strong and was able to finish it off in a great way—it can’t feel any better,” he said after the race. “I’ve had some deaths of some people pretty close to me—my sister passed away from a brain tumor in September and I felt her energy all season. And a friend in Telluride took her own life a few days ago and my community is hurting. I’d like to dedicate this podium to my sister and Hannah Smith from Telluride.”

Alessandro Haemmerle of Austria took the win to secure the overall title with Merlin Surget of France in third place.  

U.S. Snowboard Team athletes Alex Deibold and Jake Vedder qualified to the small final, where they finished sixth and seventh overall. Mick Dierdorff was ninth, Nick Baumgartner 13th and Senna Leith 17th.

Jacobellis and Stacy Gaskill led the U.S. women into the semifinals, but Jacobellis fell and Stacy finished third to land them both into the small final. While Jacobellis was disappointed to not be in a big final on her landmark day, the winningest snowboardcross rider of all time didn’t let that bother her and dominated the small final to take fifth place overall. Gaskill was seventh.

Jacobellis started racing as a teenager and the now 35-year-old snowboarder is the most decorated snowboardcross racer in the sport's history—boasting an Olympic silver medal, 10 X Games gold medals, five World Championship golds and 32 World Cup wins. She’s been dominating the World Cup circuit for more than 15 years, and making her 100th World Cup start is just another feat for her to add to her impressive trophy case.

“It’s pretty rad to see,” said Kearney of Jacobellis. “100 World Cups later and she’s still destroying people. I’m super proud of her and it really shows her passion for the sport. She’s a crusader and it’s cool to see her still at it. She would have liked to have been in the big final today, but she’s such a strong snowboarder and for this to be her triple-digit World Cup is an affirmation of that.”

Eva Samkova of the Czech Republic took the win on the women’s side to lock down the crystal globe, with Michela Moioli of Italy and Charlotte Bankes of Great Britain rounding out the podium in second and third. Americans Meghan Tierney and Faye Gulini made it to the quarterfinals, but did not qualify out of them and finished 13th. Gulini, having had her best season in her career with three podiums, finished third in the overall standings.

The results from the World Cup Finals also secured the U.S. Snowboard Team the Nation’s Cup—making USA the best snowboardcross team of the 2020-21 season. “Everybody is really excited about it,” said Head Coach Peter Foley. “It was a tough year, but I’m really glad we were able to win it. The athletes were super stoked about it. And I was stoked too, of course!”

Kearney echoed his coach’s sentiments. “We totally deserved it. Our team was insane this season,” he said. “A ton of our teammates getting podiums—it was awesome. Everybody is coming into their own. That was really cool. As long as I’ve been on the team, it’s the strongest we’ve looked going into any Olympic season. This is the new generation of boardercross.”

At the 2021 FIS World Cup Finals slalom in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, Mikaela Shiffrin finished second—her 105th FIS World Cup podium—to secure second place in the overall slalom standings. Paula Moltzan also had an excellent day, skiing into seventh place in the race to take 11th overall in the standings.

The conditions were sloppy, with the heavy snow that canceled the speed events earlier in the week making the Swiss track difficult. With two nearly perfect runs, 2021 Slalom World Champion Katharina Liensberger of Austria took the win by more than a second over Shiffrin with Michelle Gisin of Switzerland in third.

Shiffrin’s result pushed her from third to second in the slalom standings, but Liensberger’s win secured her the women’s slalom title, vaulting her over Slovakian Petra Vlhova who won the title in the 2019-20 season. But Vlhova didn’t go home empty-handed, as her sixth-place finish in the race clinched her the overall crystal globe for the season, making her the first Slovakian to ever win the overall title.

Shiffrin was content with the race and season outcome, given the conditions and a difficult last year for her personally. “I think being able to get to this point and have any races at World Cup Finals, especially with really difficult weather this week is really lucky,” she said. “There’s a lot of things that went totally different this season and I had a lot of uncertainty personally. It’s been quite successful, even if it’s comparatively not as successful as other seasons. It’s a really good stepping stone for me. I’m trying to just take just the moments that are positive and move forward with that.”

Shiffrin was also quick to commend the 23-year-old Liensberger, who had an extraordinary season to land the designation of the world’s best slalom skier. “Her skiing is not only strong but also fearless,” said Shiffrin. “It’s quite impressive to see that. I knew it would have to be a really really perfect race for me to have a chance to overtake her in the globe fight, so it was just trying to find a good rhythm for myself today and there were definitely some good turns in there. She absolutely has just been consistent this season and building higher and higher and putting really impressive skiing out there.”

Moltzan completed her breakout year with yet another strong performance, finishing in seventh. It was the former NCAA champion’s second-best individual World Cup result, and also proved that she is one of the top skiers on the World Cup circuit—landing in 11th in the slalom standings.

"I'm extremely excited about how my season had ended," said Moltzan. "I had four really solid slalom results in a row, which is something I've been striving towards my whole career. To see it finally come to fruition is really awesome and exciting and really motivating. I can't wait for the next year already!"  

Alexis Pintaurant of France won the men's giant slalom, earning him the giant slalom globe and clinching the overall title on his 30th birthday. Croatian Filip Zubcic was second and Frenchman Matthieu Faivre third. Tommy Ford, who suffered from an injury after a horrific crash in Adelboden, Switzerland, qualified for World Cup Finals, ranked 10th in the world in giant slalom. River Radamus, who ended up ranked 28th in the world, just missed qualification for World Cup Finals (top 25 athletes in each discipline). 

There’s just one last race day in the World Cup season: a giant slalom on Sunday for the women and a slalom for the men. Shiffrin and Nina O’Brien will represent the Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team.

Finally, the sun came out at Lenzerheide, Switzerland, and FIS Ski World Cup Finals action kicked off with Friday's team event. Paula Moltzan, Nina O'Brien, River Radamus, and Ben Ritchie represented the Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team. 

For a moment, it felt like Groundhog Day, as the U.S. was up against powerhouse Norway in the first heat—the same scenario the Americans faced at World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Norway won by a small margin and eventually went on to win gold in Cortina. On Friday at Finals, the Americans took on Norway in the first heat, losing by a small margin yet again. Norway would move on not only to the 1/2 Final but eventually went on to win it all and snag yet another team event victory. Germany was second, while the Austrians rounded out the podium in third. The Americans ended up in seventh. 

Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team Alpine Director Jesse Hunt is optimistic about the future for the Americans in this event. ".05 away from knocking out the first-place team," he said. "We are closing in on a breakthrough in the team event."

Up next is the women's slalom and men's giant slalom on Saturday. Two-time Olympic champion and six-time world champion Mikaela Shiffrin and Paula Moltzan will be starting for the Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team. Heading into Saturday's slalom, Shiffrin (575 points) is ranked third behind Slovakian rival Petra Vlhova (612) and Austrian Katharina Liensberger (590). 2017 NCAA slalom champion Moltzan is ranked 11th in the world coming into World Cup Finals on Saturday. 

Tommy Ford, who suffered from an injury after a horrific crash in Adelboden, Switzerland, qualified for World Cup Finals, ranked 10th in the world in giant slalom. Radamus, who ended up ranked 28th in the world, just missed qualification for World Cup Finals, which is the top 25 athletes in each discipline. 

It'll be a fight literally to the finish line for the small globes on Saturday, so make sure to tune in!

For the third-straight day, FIS Ski World Cup Finals action has been canceled due to weather at Lenzerheide, Switzerland. A day after the men's and women's downhill events were canceled, Thursday's men's and women's super-G was canceled due to heavy snowfall, wind, and fog. 

Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team athlete Travis Ganong was slated to be the lone competitor for the Americans. He ended up ranked 16th in the world in super-G for the 2020-21 season. Despite being sidelined since his crash in Kitzbuehel, Austria, Ryan Cochran-Siegle was the best-ranked American, in 10th. 

Austria's Vincent Kriechmayr locked up the super-G globe for the men, while Switzerland's Lara Gut earned the super-G globe for the women. Up next is the team event Friday. Paula Moltzan, Nina O'Brien, River Radamus, and Ben Ritchie will be competing for the Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team.

In early March, U.S. Ski & Snowboard President and CEO Tiger Shaw, Alpine Director Jesse Hunt, and Alpine Development Director Chip Knight hosted a video conference call with the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) and Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association (RMISA) college coaches to further discuss initiatives that are being taken to build bridges between the U.S. Ski Team, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, and collegiate ski racing programs.

Among the key points was to describe how the uniquely American college skiing system fits into the national alpine program as a way for athletes to remain competitively engaged in the sport into their early 20s, and to continue to further their elite development through exposure to the NorAm and Europa Cup levels of competition. 

Additional items discussed included improving channels of communication, advance planning to avoid FIS-UNI and NorAm calendar conflicts, preparation period training opportunities, more transparent World Cup qualification pathways and support, modifications to USST criteria—i.e. NCAA Champion is now an included objective benchmark in U.S. Ski Team criteria, and some of the notable success stories from the year of collegiate athletes achieving higher-level results in Europe, including Paula Moltzan (University of Vermont), Katie Hensien (University of Denver), Erik Arvidsson (Middlebury College), Alex Leever (University of Denver), Jett Seymour (University of Denver), and Andrew Miller (Dartmouth College).

U.S. Ski & Snowboard announces the pending resignation of its President and CEO Tiger Shaw effective March 1, 2022, following the Beijing Winter Olympics. Shaw will be named CEO Emeritus upon his resignation and will join the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Foundation Board as a Trustee focusing on several key fundraising priorities including Athlete funding, an initiative that has been a central focus during his eight-year tenure as CEO. The Board will begin a search for its next CEO immediately with the objective of having a new CEO in place in time to overlap with Shaw prior to his departure next March.

Shaw joined U.S. Ski & Snowboard in October 2013 and during his tenure, he will have served through three Olympic Games and 12 World Championships. In addition to many notable athletic accomplishments under his watch, Shaw led U.S. Ski & Snowboard to 32 Olympic and 64 World Championship medals representing 60% of the US medals won across all Winter Olympic sports. Shaw led efforts to dramatically improve athlete funding, to support coach professional development, and to improve the athlete experience thus driving important organizational culture initiatives that will have an impact for years to come. During Shaw’s tenure, the Foundation endowment grew from $36MM to nearly $60MM, enabling $3MM in annual athlete funding, and organizational debt has declined by more than $10MM.

“We have had great leadership under Tiger during his tenure, guiding the organization through both good and difficult times. He leaves a legacy of achievement and change with permanent benefit,” said Board of Directors Chair Kipp Nelson. “While we are saddened by his future departure, we understand his desire to pursue other endeavors and wish him the very best. We are so pleased Tiger will continue his close involvement with U.S. Ski & Snowboard as CEO Emeritus and as a Foundation Trustee undoubtedly championing many of the key initiatives he launched as CEO,” continued Nelson.

“While I look forward to new career challenges, I know I will leave this organization, which I care for so deeply, in great shape with an incredible management team and supportive boards,” said Shaw. “I am excited to manage a seamless transition and to stay very involved as a U.S. Ski & Snowboard Foundation Trustee and CEO Emeritus. I am proud of my accomplishments over the past eight years and our future looks bright. I have a world-class team and know their accomplishments will continue to be amongst the best in the world.”

Weather forced organizers and FIS to cancel Tuesday's downhill training run, pushing the training run and the race for both women and men to Wednesday for a jam-packed schedule. Unfortunately, continued snowfall wreaked havoc on the track, making it impossible to get a safe and fair training run and race off.

Breezy Johnson ended up ranked a career-best fourth in the downhill standings. Ryan Cochran-Siegle was ranked 14th, Travis Ganong 18th, Bryce Bennett 19th, and Jared Goldberg 23rd. Despite an injury that sidelined her for several races, Italy's Sofia Goggia took home the downhill globe for the women and Switzerland's Beat Feuz for the men. Up next is super-G on Thursday, weather permitting. Ganong will be the sole Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team athlete competing.

Davis U.S. Cross Country Ski Team athlete Hannah Halvorsen is featured in Health Magazine's Celebrity Deep Dives series, placing her alongside celebrities such as Mindy Kaling, Leanne Rimes, Alex Morgan, and Katie Couric to have been featured in this series. 

As an Olympic-level athlete Halvorsen, 23 was used to being "on" all the time. "It's not in my nature to be patient. I ski race—I'm always trying to go fast," Halvorsen tells Health.

But all of this changed after a tragic accident in November 2019. "It was a totally normal day. In a few weeks, I was leaving for the race season. I'd gone training that morning," Halvorsen says, recalling the day her life changed. "It was my boyfriend's birthday. We were in downtown Anchorage. When we were crossing the street at around 7 pm, someone turned left without looking in the crosswalk and took me out around what the police estimate was 25 miles per hour."

In the series, Halvorsen discusses how she learned to set small goals during a long recovery process.
