Patrick Kenney’s rise to the World Cup wasn’t linear—but it was relentless. From being cut by the U.S. Ski Team to racing independently in Europe, earning All-American honors at the University of New Hampshire, and building a support network from scratch, Kenney’s journey is a story of grit, gratitude, and belief. Now back on the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, he’s more prepared than ever—and ready for the Olympic season ahead.

Austrian slalom skier Katharina Huber has signed with Völkl/Marker ahead of the 2025–26 season, becoming the fifth athlete to leave Fischer this spring. A consistent World Cup Finals qualifier, Huber continues to build on a strong slalom career that includes 10 top-10 finishes.

AJ Hurt and Ben Ritchie wrapped up their seasons with national slalom titles at the U.S. Alpine Nationals in Vail. Ritchie led a Stifel U.S. Ski Team sweep on the men’s side, while the women’s race came down to hundredths and featured standout runs from both veterans and rising collegiate stars.

Austria dominated the final regular-season slalom in Åre, with Katharina Truppe securing her first-ever World Cup victory and teammate Katharina Liensberger finishing second in a statement performance. Mikaela Shiffrin rounded out the podium in third, while Paula Moltzan placed sixth, giving the Stifel U.S. Ski Team two top-six finishes. With the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley up next, the stage is set for an intense battle for the season title.

MARKER bindings, with its innovation, technical sophistication, and performance, are making their mark in the first half of the 2024/25 Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup season helping numerous top athletes secure podium positions.

Get ready for the thrill of the Tuesday, January 23rd Night Giant Slalom in Schladming, Austria – a historic event that rivals even the renowned Kitzbühel race. The Schladming night slalom attracted massive crowds in the past before the completion of the impressive finish stadium in 2013. With around 48,000 attendees annually, the village transforms into a giant party.

The women's last first run of 2023 was spectacular. The current World Cup discipline leader, Mikaela Shiffrin skied as she has for most of the year, which is inspirational. Although her lifelong rival, Slovakia's Petra Vlhová, skied brilliantly, she could not execute through the most challenging hairpin with the skill of the world's best. Stifel US Ski Team's Shiffrin will ski last again on the second run and poetically close out 2023. Although Shiffrin was only (-0.17) faster than Vlhová, the Slovakian finished the first run (-1.06) faster than third-place Austrian Katharina Liensberger.
