October 23, 2018 (Park City, Utah) – U.S. Ski & Snowboard announces it’s full teams’ staff rosters for the 2018-19 season. It would not be possible to pursue U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s vision of making the U.S. the best in the world in Olympic skiing and snowboarding without a larger system of support in place. It takes a team behind the team for athletes to achieve success on the podium, from the medical and sports science staff – including physical therapists, high performance dietitians, and sport psychologists – to management and coaches all the way from the development through elite levels, without these staff’s, Olympic gold would not be possible.
