Mikaela Shiffrin expressed her excitement with a single word, “Team ❤️,” after being named to the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team for the 2025-26 season. The announcement, made by U.S. Ski & Snowboard on October 13 via their official Instagram, confirmed Shiffrin’s spot on the A team alongside notable skiers like 2010 Olympic downhill champion Lindsey Vonn, Breezy Johnson, and Lauren Macuga. The 49-member squad includes athletes across the A, B, and C teams, gearing up for a competitive season.
Fresh off a stellar 2024-25 season, where she clinched her 101st World Cup title, Shiffrin is poised for a strong campaign. The 30-year-old skiing sensation is not only aiming to secure a place on the 2026 Winter Olympics team but also seeking redemption after failing to medal at the 2022 Beijing Games. Shiffrin shared her enthusiasm by reposting the team announcement on her Instagram, signaling her pride in joining the talented roster for the upcoming season.
