The amount of time, effort, love and support this community—and that starts with Ron and Amanda (and Stifel!)—have put into our sports and the @usskiteam is otherworldly and something very special. Thank you.""Words truly cannot express our gratitude for all of the individuals who make living this dream possible for us. I felt honored to stand beside a handful of my many incredible teammates at such a pivotal moment for our organization as we head into the season en route to Milan-Cortina 2026.🙏" View this post on Instagram Instagram PostMikaela Shiffrin was in Chile alongside the US Ski team as part of their training camp ahead of the season.
