Longtime USST coach Alex Hödlmoser hired by Austrian Ski Federation

This spring, the US Ski Team said goodbye to long time coach Austrian Alex Hödlmoser. His career in the US began in the 1997/98 season. Over the years, Hödlmoser was a significant part of the U.S. speed event success for both men and women. With the US, he held positions of head men’s speed coach and head women’s speed coach. He also spent time as a special coach to Lindsey Vonn. As the Head Women’s Speed Coach, Hödlmoser, led the US adrenaline addicts for the 2021/22 season.

With Assistant Speed Coach Karin Harjo leaving to lead the Canadian Women’s Alpine Team, there will be plenty of excitement over Hödlmoser’s and Harjo’s replacements. The USST reports that they are close to signing their entire alpine staff and will announce the coaches soon. His multi-decade-long career with the US Ski Team was a good one, so it is not surprising the ÖSV Austrian Ski Federation has announced that the talented Hödlmoser will join their women’s World Cup Speed program for the 2022/23 campaign.
