Deer Valley Welcomes Rising Mogul Star Alli Macuga as a Sponsored Athlete
DEER VALLEY RESORT; PARK CITY, UTAH (January 23, 2025) – Deer Valley Resort is thrilled to announce Alli Macuga as the newest member of its team of sponsored athletes. At just 21 years old, Macuga has quickly become a standout in the world of mogul skiing, demonstrating exceptional talent, determination, and a bright future on the slopes.
Originally from Park City, Utah, Alli is part of a remarkable family of athletes, with her two sisters competing in World Cup circuits and her younger brother aspiring to join them. A student at the University of Utah, Macuga balances her academic pursuits with an impressive career on the international stage.
Macuga made her World Cup debut in December 2022 in Ruka, Finland, where she placed an impressive 12th. She went on to achieve four top-10 finishes during the 2022-23 season, including a career-best fourth place at the Almaty World Cup. Her hard work paid off as she claimed the 2022-23 NorAm Cup moguls and dual moguls overall titles, secured a full-time World Cup start for the following season, and was named the 2023 FIS Rookie of the Year.
The 2023-24 season proved to be a breakthrough year for Alli. She landed on the podium twice, earning a second-place finish in moguls at Almaty and a third-place finish in dual moguls at Alpe d'Huez. Alli capped off the season ranked fifth in the world, solidifying her position as one of the sport's brightest stars.
Continuing her momentum, Alli has started the 2024-25 season strong with four top-15 finishes in World Cup events already added to her resume. Her consistent performance highlights her determination and sets the stage for another incredible year.
“Alli exemplifies the passion, drive, and excellence that align with Deer Valley’s values,” said Susie English, Vice President of Marketing. “We are excited to support her journey as she continues to reach new heights in her career.”
Ski fans can catch Alli Macuga in action at Deer Valley on February 6 through 8, during the FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup 2025 Intermountain Health Freestyle International Ski World Cup presented by Stifel. This premier event offers a chance to witness the world's best athletes, including Alli, as they compete on the resort’s iconic slopes. For a full event schedule, please visit deervalley.com/events.
When not competing, Alli enjoys spending time with her close-knit family and their two dogs and four cats. An avid water skier and surfer, she balances her athletic pursuits with moments of relaxation and adventure.
