“Coming home to lead this program is both an honor and a challenge I’m deeply motivated by,” Rearick said in a press release. “Across the United States, there is real enthusiasm for ski racing, and now it’s about channeling that into belief and action. From athletes just starting out to those competing for World Cup podiums, we will build a system grounded in process, clarity and daily habits."
Rearick was the U.S. men's Alpine head coach from 2008 to 2018, during which his skiers, including Olympic gold medalists Bode Miller and Ted Ligety, won 15 Olympic and World Championships medals.
Most recently, Rearick was Alpine performance director for Apex2100 International Ski Academy in Europe.
