Ligety says goodbye to ski racing

At age 36, it was only a matter of time until Ted Ligety decide to quit racing and focus on his young family and his “Shred” business. 

Champions come and go, but Ligety has a track record that remains impressive as he marked World Cup with his innovative technique, his dominance of giant slalom for years, and a solid 15 year career with the US ski team. 

Just as a reminder his results speak for themselves: 

•  Two Olympic gold medals Seven World Championship medals including five gold.
• A string of three-straight World Championship GS gold medals – a feat never before accomplished! 
• Six small World Cup crystal globes (five GS, one combined).
• 25 World Cup wins, 52 podiums in 336 starts.

Happy and productive retirement, Ted! 

Also, don’t forget to fully enjoy your beautiful family and appreciate Park City will offer you during all your years of retirement from competitive skiing!
