Two Utahns are part of the 21-skier roster, including Park City’s Lauren Macuga and Jared Goldberg from Holladay.
This will be Macuga’s first World Championship competition. The 22-year-old claimed her first World Cup win in super-G this season.
Goldberg and Olympic silver medalist Ryan Chochran-Siegle headline the men’s team with their podium performances this season in Italy.
Also on the roster are Mikaela Shiffrin, who just competed in her first race back since a November injury, and Lindsey Vonn who has recently come out of retirement.
The competition in Saalbach, Austria will also feature a new event – the team combined. In it, two athletes, one downhill, one slalom, race for a combined fastest time.
Racing begins Tuesday, Feb. 4 and runs through Feb. 16.
