The FIS World is set to kick off after a long five-month break since the last season wrapped up on March 23. Now, the wait is almost over, with the new season finally beginning on November 26, bringing back the thrilling excitement of skiing for fans. Once again, the hunt for the Crystal Globe will begin, as athletes from around the world are ready to compete for the ultimate prize.

Team USA aims to build on their impressive previous season, where they finished fourth on the podium table with 21 medals in the Alpine category. This year, they’ll be striving to break into the top three, a spot held last year by Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. However, the outlook is much brighter for the Americans with the return of Mikaela Shiffrin, who missed the final stages of last season due to an MCL injury. Here’s a list of all the athletes set to represent Team USA at the upcoming World Cup.
