The U.S. Ski Team is seeking coaches and service staff for our upcoming 2026 U18 & Senior Combined Scandinavian Project and 2026 World Junior & U23 Championship teams. The teams will be led by U.S. Ski Team Development Coach Greta Anderson.
A goal of our National Team is to include a diverse selection of coaches on our project staffs; a mixture of experience and a willingness to learn in a fast-paced team environment are paramount.
The desired applicants should be comfortable, clear, and effective in communicating regularly with athletes age 16–23, and be willing to work in roles that may include ski testing, wax application, team meetings, group activities, transporting athletes, orchestrating training sessions, mentoring athletes, and working in cooperation with other staff members. All applicants must be current licensed U.S. Ski & Snowboard coaches with a minimum Level 100 coach’s certification. Attendance at prior U.S. Ski Team Development projects, e.g., local REG camps, is strongly encouraged. Coaches with experience driving manual vehicles are preferred and highly encouraged to apply.
Each position filled will provide valuable experience to individuals, clubs, and our developing ski nation.
Applicants should send a brief résumé and one reference, along with the specific projects they are interested in and available for, to Greta Anderson, greta.anderson (at) usskiandsnowboard.org, by or before November 14, 2025. If you have questions related to specific development projects, you may call Greta at +1 907-244-7389.
The combined trip in January/February will act to replace the OPA/FESA Cup Final Series that the U.S. has attended in recent years.
