Paula Moltzan: Her Unique Ski Racing Journey, Rekindling Friendship with Mikaela Shiffrin, and Globe Aspirations at 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Season of Breakthroughs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paula Moltzan is embracing the best season of her career at nearly 31 years old, proving that success in alpine skiing isn\u2019t limited to youth. The American tech specialist has found the consistency needed to contend for podium finishes regularly. This season, she achieved two World Cup podiums and earned a bronze medal in giant slalom at the World Championships in Saalbach\u2014her first individual medal in a senior competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With seven top-five finishes across the World Cup and World Championships, Moltzan has contributed to an outstanding season for the U.S. women\u2019s team, alongside wins from Mikaela Shiffrin, Lauren Macuga, and Breezy Johnson.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a lot of positive momentum for us right now,” Moltzan told *Olympics.com.*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently ranked sixth in the world in giant slalom, Moltzan leads the American contingent in the discipline, followed closely by Nina O’Brien, AJ Hurt, and Katie Hensien.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOn any given day, one of those girls can beat me in training, and the next day, it could be someone else. That constant competition pushes us all to ski faster,\u201d she explained.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With that environment fueling her progress, competing for a season title no longer feels out of reach.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s definitely on my long-term goals list,\u201d Moltzan said. \u201cI hope to find the consistency to make it happen next season or the one after. Federica Brignone is proving it\u2019s possible\u2014she\u2019s won more than half of her races after turning 30!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rediscovering a Passion for Skiing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moltzan\u2019s journey to this level of success hasn\u2019t been conventional. After winning the junior world slalom title in 2015, she struggled in her first full World Cup season and lost her spot on the U.S. Ski Team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of quitting, she turned to collegiate racing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the typical ski racing path\u2014to be on the national team, then go to university, and come back,\u201d she admitted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 22, unsure of her options and unable to afford independent training, she joined the University of Vermont\u2019s ski program. There, she won an NCAA slalom title and learned valuable lessons about teamwork.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cGetting cut from the team was the best thing that happened to me,\u201d Moltzan reflected. \u201cI rediscovered my love for ski racing in an environment where it wasn\u2019t just about me\u2014it was about the team. I learned how to support others, how to be a good teammate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Returning to the national team in 2018, she brought a new perspective:College forced me to grow up. Now, I appreciate every opportunity. I\u2019ve learned to be coachable, flexible, and grateful.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking back, she acknowledges her teenage mindset was flawed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I was spoiled, but I felt entitled,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI was one of the top-ranked juniors besides Mikaela and thought the U.S. team should be doing more for me. But in reality, I wasn\u2019t as good as I thought I was.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strength Training in a Barn and the Role of Her Husband<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since rejoining the World Cup, Moltzan has worked to become a more complete athlete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy physical conditioning was the missing piece,\u201d she said. \u201cAs a young skier, I relied on natural talent and didn\u2019t train as hard in the summer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the pandemic hit in 2020, she committed to off-season training, even if it meant using a makeshift gym in her husband\u2019s parents’ woodshed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first year, there wasn\u2019t even a concrete floor. The second year, we didn\u2019t have electricity. But we made it work,\u201d she recalled.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her husband, Ryan Mooney\u2014a former skier who attended the Green Mountain Valley School\u2014has been a crucial part of her journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRyan doesn\u2019t get enough credit,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was with me in college and has been tuning my skis ever since. Without him, I don\u2019t think I could have made a comeback.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beyond ski tuning, Mooney has acted as her coach, chauffeur, travel planner, and photographer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s my biggest supporter but also my toughest critic. That\u2019s not always easy, but it pushes me to be better.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

To afford having Mooney travel with her, Moltzan even worked as a whitewater raft guide in the summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing Up in Minnesota\u2019s Slalom Scene<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite now living on the East Coast, Moltzan remains proud of her Midwestern roots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMinnesotans are just nice to everyone,\u201d she said with a laugh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like her idol Lindsey Vonn, she developed her skills at Buck Hill\u2014a small ski area south of Minneapolis with just a 93-meter (300-foot) vertical drop.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a humble start,\u201d she recalled. \u201cI never really free-skied much. We trained in gates over and over again, which helped me develop a good feel for turns from a young age.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

She also had the opportunity to learn from legendary Austrian coach Erich Sailer, who still supports her today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s almost 99, but he still texts me after good races!\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friendship and Rivalry with Mikaela Shiffrin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moltzan and Mikaela Shiffrin have crossed paths throughout their careers, having grown up competing together.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re only 11 months apart, so she\u2019s always been around,\u201d Moltzan said. \u201cThe last time I might have beaten her in a race, I was 13 or 14.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early in their World Cup careers, they trained together, but their paths diverged\u2014Shiffrin created her own team, and Moltzan left the U.S. squad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we were both on separate journeys, there was a gap in our friendship,\u201d she admitted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, though, Shiffrin has reconnected with Moltzan and the team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s been through a lot\u2014losing her dad, injuries\u2014and I think that\u2019s brought us closer,\u201d Moltzan said. \u201cShe\u2019s realizing that having a team around her is valuable. It\u2019s nice to be there for her, just as she\u2019s been for all of us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moltzan was on the podium when Shiffrin won her 100th World Cup race in Sestriere.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an amazing moment to share,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking Ahead to the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite excelling in giant slalom this season, Moltzan considers herself a well-rounded tech skier rather than a specialist in one event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI started in slalom, and I even had a coach who told me I\u2019d never succeed in GS. I\u2019m happy to have proven him wrong,\u201d she said with a grin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She is looking forward to the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley, where a strong U.S. team will compete in front of home fans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. women\u2019s team is so deep right now\u2014any one of us could win on any day,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since we\u2019ve had this kind of strength across the board.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moltzan, who won the national GS title at Sun Valley in 2024, is eager to close out her best season on a high note.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn a sport dominated by Europeans, racing on home soil is special,\u201d she said. \u201cThe energy from the crowd is incredible. Having such a strong American team for these Finals makes it even more exciting. I want to put the cherry on top of a great season.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
