La federsci USA ha comunicato i nomi ufficiali dei 44 atleti nominati per lo US Ski Team per la stagione olimpica 2021/2022.
Come da tradizione gli USA annunciano a primavera inoltrata una selezione delle squadre da considerarsi "non definitive", ma valevoli per i mesi di preparazione estiva, e poi la squadra ufficiale viene presentata a novembre, dopo l'opening di Soelden.

Quest'anno sono stati confermati tutti e 44 gli atleti selezionati, con la squadra femminile guidata dalla capitana Mikaela Shiffrin, e gli uomini - orfani del ritirato Ted Ligety - che vedono nella squadra nazionale Bryce Bennett, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, Tommy Ford, Travis Ganong e Steven Nyman, classe 1982 e veterano della squadra.

Di seguito la composizione delle squadre A, B, C e D e dello staff tecnico.
