Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation skier Molly Maybach is a 17-year-old in her second year at Wood River High School, but 2024 is shaping up to be a busy year for her after she was named as a Youth member on two United States biathlon teams.
Maybach earned her USA team selection based on points she was awarded during the US Biathlon Association's national team trials, a three-day competition in Minnesota that concluded on Dec. 31.

Now, Maybach is preparing to represent the US in this year's Winter Youth Olympic Games in South Korea starting on January 20th before traveling to Estonia for the World Biathlon J-Y Championships in late February.
Maybach is one of four young women named for the world championships and one of only 3 American women selected for the South Korean Youth Games.
