PARK CITY, Utah (Feb. 12, 2025) – U.S. Ski & Snowboard has named 16 athletes to represent the United States at the 2025 FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in Tarvisio, Italy. The event runs from Feb. 27 to March 6, showcasing the top junior ski racers from around the world.

A Strong U.S. Contingent

This year’s team features a mix of Stifel U.S. Ski Team C- and D-team athletes, along with standout skiers from top U.S. clubs. The United States has a history of success at Junior Worlds, including Ryder Sarchett’s shocking giant slalom gold medal in 2024 and a bronze in the team parallel event.

Several team members have already delivered impressive performances this season. Elisabeth Bocock broke through with her first World Cup points at the Stifel Killington Cup, finishing 23rd. Liv Moritz earned three NorAm Cup podiums, including a win, and started her first World Cup in Kronplatz, Italy. Allison Mollin posted strong Europa Cup speed results and gained World Cup experience.

In the men’s technical events, Stanley Buzek and Jevin Palmquist stand out. Palmquist claimed his first NorAm Cup podium in slalom, while Buzek recently landed on a NorAm podium and placed fifth in the Junior Worlds slalom last year.

“These athletes have already made a significant impact at the NorAm level,” said Chip Knight, Alpine Development Director for the Stifel U.S. Ski Team. “With a mix of seasoned competitors and promising newcomers, we are confident in their ability to deliver strong performances.”
