Biography
Born to Robyn and Mark Moltzan and from Minnesota, Moltzan began racing at Buck Hill, south of Minneapolis. She competed at the World Championships in 2015 at Beaver Creek, finishing twentieth in the slalom.[1] A month later she won gold in the slalom at the Junior World Championships at Hafjell, Norway.
Moltzan raced collegiately for the University of Vermont in Burlington and won the NCAA title in slalom in 2017 at Cannon Mountain, New Hampshire. She rejoined the World Cup circuit for the 2018–19 season and finished eighteenth in slalom at the World Championships in 2019.
At the 2022 Winter Olympics,[2] Moltzan was eighth in the slalom, twelfth in the giant slalom, and fourth in the team event.
Her biggest influences are her cousin Allen and her uncle Scott.
At the 2025 World Championships in Austria at Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Moltzan placed fourth in three events (team event, team combined, slalom), and grabbed a bronze medal in the giant slalom, her first individual medal at a major event.[3]
