Three Salt Lake City skiers, sisters Elisabeth and Mary Bocock and Katie Hensien, will be in Saturday’s giant slalom race. The trio also raced for Rowmark Ski Academy.
The Bocock sisters made their World Cup debuts together in Solden, Austria, in October 2023.
Hensien recorded her best World Cup finish, coming in fourth in giant slalom at the Austrian season opener.
Also representing the U.S. will be Paula Moltzan, Nina O’Brien and AJ Hurt.
Absent from the start list is American Alpine star Mikaela Shiffrin who was injured in a crash at the Killington GS Dec. 12. The Olympian has missed three races since the crash.
Shiffrin said she is “making progress” in a video of her workout she posted Jan. 2.
She said she is hoping to get back on snow next week, but says she’s not quite ready to return to competition.
The first racer will kick out of the gate in Slovenia at 1:30 a.m. Mountain Time Saturday followed by the slalom race at 2 a.m. Sunday.
