The Stifel U.S. Ski Team has finalized its U.S. men’s Olympic alpine roster, naming a six-man group that blends World Cup winners, a proven podium finisher, elite speed specialists, and the program’s youngest rising star. The roster reflects depth across downhill, super-G, and giant slalom, with athletes selected on performance, consistency, and readiness for championship pressure.
Two athletes on the roster—Ryan Cochran-Siegle, the defending Olympic super-G silver medalist and a World Cup super-G winner on the Bormio Olympic slope, and Bryce Bennett—bring World Cup victory experience, while River Radamus has also earned the podium. The rest of the team adds significant depth, bringing World Cup top-10 and top-15 finishes, Junior World titles, NorAm success, and extensive experience on some of the sport’s most demanding terrain.
