All Para alpine World Cups in the 2025-26 season, leading into the Games, count towards qualifying for Para alpine skiing. Evaluative events run from December-Feb. 15, 2026. The team will be announced by Feb. 16, 2026.
The Stifel U.S. Para Alpine Ski Team heads into the season with a fantastic group of seasoned veterans and ambitious newcomers. Leading the way is two-time Paralympic medalist Andrew Kurka, who is looking towards his third Paralympic Games after a season filled with podiums. Audrey Crowley is one of the youngest athletes within U.S. Ski & Snowboard and yet has already made her presence known. In her first full season on the World Cup circuit, she finished on the podium multiple times and earned a bronze medal at the 2025 FIS Para Alpine World Ski Championships. Additional athletes to keep your eye on are Jesse Keefe, Andrew Haraghey and Saylor O’Brien after successful seasons making their mark on the circuit.
