​​U.S. Ski & Snowboard has nominated 97 athletes to represent Team USA at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games, Feb. 6-22, 2026. The athletes were selected to Team USA based on pre-determined Olympic Winter Games selection criteria by U.S. Ski & Snowboard and will be officially announced to Team USA on Jan. 26, 2026. 

The Milano Cortina Games will take place across Italy, becoming the most geographically widespread Games in history. Athletes will compete across 25 venues in four main clusters: Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Valtellina and Val di Fiemme, with 116 medal events on the schedule. For ski and snowboard events, Bormio will host men’s alpine, Cortina will host women’s alpine, cross country, ski jumping and nordic combined will all take place in Val di Fiemme and freestyle, freeski and snowboard will be in Livigno. 

U.S. Ski & Snowboard will send 97 athletes to the Olympic Winter Games, including 73 athletes from the Stifel U.S. Ski Team and 24 athletes from the Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team. At the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games, U.S. Ski & Snowboard accounted for more than 40% of Team USA’s delegation and brought home 15 of the 25 total Olympic medals won. Of the 97 U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes represented, 48 are first-time Olympians. 

Several athletes headed to Milano Cortina are entering the Games as multiple-time medalists and Olympians. The alpine team is led by two-time Olympic champion, three-time Olympic medalist and most decorated alpine skier of all time Mikaela Shiffrin, Olympic champion, three-time Olympic medalist and winningest speed skier in history Lindsey Vonn and Ryan Cochran-Siegle, an Olympic silver medalist. Jessie Diggins, an Olympic champion and three-time Olympic medalist in cross country, will compete at her fourth and final Games.

Freestyle moguls is led by Olympic silver medalist Jaelin Kauf, while Chris Lillis, who won an Olympic gold medal in 2022, returns for the aerials team. Olympic champion Alex Hall, two-time Olympic medalist Alex Ferreira and three-time Olympic medalist Nick Goepper, who is headed to his fourth Games, are leading the way to Italy for freeski. On the snowboard side, Chloe Kim, a two-time Olympic champion and the youngest Olympic gold medalist in snowboarding history, returns, alongside Olympic champions Red Gerard and Nick Baumgartner. Baumgartner is entering his fifth Olympic Winter Games.

“The athletes we are sending to the Games represent a large portion of Team USA and I am confident about the impact they will make in Italy,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard President and CEO Sophie Goldschmidt. “More than the results, our athletes are also bringing some of the most captivating story lines to Milano Cortina, and we are so excited to see the impact they will have while representing their country in February.”

“We are excited to announce the 97 athletes that will represent Team USA at the Olympic Winter Games in just two weeks,” said Anouk Patty, U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport. “Throughout this season, we’ve seen quite remarkable results from our athletes across all 10 of our sports and I know this is one of the strongest teams we have sent to the Games. I am excited to cheer for them on the biggest stage in sports.”
