Resi Stiegler

Born and raised in Jackson, Wyoming, Stiegler is the daughter of Olympic champion Josef "Pepi" Stiegler of Austria. She began skiing at age two and racing at six at Jackson Hole. Junior Olympic and Nor-Am success while still a teenager led to a berth on the U.S. Ski Team; she made her World Cup debut at age 17 in December 2002 at a slalom in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, where she finished a remarkable eleventh. At the 2003 Junior World Championships in France, she won bronze medals in slalom and combined, to which she added a tenth-place finish in combined at the "grown-up" World Championships that year in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Through March 2016, Stiegler has 21 World Cup top-ten finishes, with one podium. She finished sixth in combined at the 2005 World Championships in Santa Caterina, Italy. Stiegler made her Olympic debut at the 2006 Torino games at age 20, placing eleventh in the combined and twelfth in the slalom. Stiegler's trademark is the tiger ears she usually wears atop her helmet. She won a well-publicized battle with the International Olympic Committee, allowing her to compete with the ears at the Torino Olympics. After a series of injuries, Stiegler made her first World Cup podium in March 2012, a runner-up finish at a slalom in Ofterschwang, Germany.

Alice Merryweather

I am a retired alpine skier from Hingham, Massachusetts now living in Salt Lake City, Utah. During my racing career, I specialized in the “speed” events of downhill and super g, and I was fortunate enough to represent the United States at the 2018 Olympics and the 2019 World Championships. In 2021, I suffered a broken tibia/fibula and torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus, which slowly contributed to the decision to end my career last spring. Over the last few months, I completed my bachelor's degree in government at Dartmouth College and began working for World Cup Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit specializing in helping underfunded skiers across multiple age groups.

Upon retiring in 2021 I have transitioned to ski coaching, working as an Athlete Gift Officer for the US Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation, ski racing commentator and Mom!
