Jackson Hole has a new reason to cheer this summer: local skier Mattias Wilson has risen through the ranks to earn a coveted place on the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, capping a remarkable athletic journey that began right here in the valley.
According to Ski Racing Media, Wilson’s path to the national team wound through Jackson Hole and Sugar Bowl, two storied training grounds that helped shape him into the competitor he is today. His selection is a testament to the world-class skiing culture that Jackson Hole has long nurtured — from the steep terrain of the mountain to the dedicated coaches and community members who support young athletes along the way.
Making a national ski team is one of the most competitive achievements in the sport, requiring years of disciplined training, consistent results on the race circuit, and the mental toughness to compete at the highest levels. Wilson’s rise is a proud milestone not just for him personally, but for the entire Jackson Hole community that helped get him there.
Stories like Wilson’s are a reminder of what makes Jackson Hole special — a place where world-class mountains meet a tight-knit community that invests in its young people. Whether on the slopes in winter or cheering from afar in summer, locals can take genuine pride in seeing one of their own reach the pinnacle of American ski racing.
Congratulations, Mattias — Jackson Hole is rooting for you.
