2026 outlook: O’Driscoll made her paraskiing debut last season and won 10 races as a rookie, excelling in giant slalom and Super-G. She kicked off the 2025-26 World Cup slate with podium finishes in the Super-G (first place) and downhill (bronze). Definitely a racer to watch.

Need to know:
• A lifelong skier who spent summers surfing in New Jersey, O’Driscoll sustained spinal fractures in 2021 and had to relearn how to walk.
• Described by her family as “fast and fearless,” O’Driscoll became Gore Mountain’s first adaptive ski patroller and made her World Championships debut in 2025, finishing sixth in slalom and eighth in giant slalom.
