Jesse Hunt is stepping down from his role as US Ski & Snowboard Alpine Director. The exact timeline for his departure is not clear at this time, but the position of Alpine Director has been posted to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard job board, as well as the position of chief of sport.

“U.S. Ski & Snowboard is recruiting for the position of Alpine Director. The Alpine Director is responsible for developing and implementing the strategy and culture from development to elite to take USSS to the next level of success during this next cycle and beyond. This will be done by working to provide the teams and programs at all levels with the appropriate structure and resources necessary for success at the highest level, in a sustainable way,” the job posting reads.

UPDATE: A U.S. Ski & Snowboard representative informs that Hunt has already resigned but “offered to stay on until July 1 to ensure we have a smooth transition.”

The news comes on the heels of a historically bad Olympic Winter Games in terms of Alpine performance, with the team securing only a single medal, its worst outing since 1988.

Hunt has been in the position since 2018. His four-year run in the job coincides with the last Olympic cycle and concludes his second tenure in the role. Hunt previously stepped down from the job in 2009 after 16 years with the organization. In the nine-year interim, Hunt served as program director and general manager for Park City Ski & Snowboard.

“Jesse has been an important leader of the U.S. Alpine Ski Team for many years and has left a lasting impact on our athletes, coaches and programs,” said CEO Sophie Goldschmidt. “During his two stints with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, he led the alpine program to great success, including 13 Olympic medals and 26 World Championship medals. We thank Jesse for his long commitment to the organization and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”
