Norway native had 13 podiums during 2026 FIS season and two top-11 results at junior worlds
SALT LAKE CITY – Head alpine coach JJ Johnson announced on Wednesday that the Utah Ski Team has signed Sebastian Hagan ahead of the 2027 season. A native of Gjettum, Norway, Hagan was most recently part of the Snø Hafjell Kvitfjell Racing program in his home country.
Â
Hagan has 11 career FIS wins, spanning eight in giant slalom, two in super G and one in slalom. He was Norway's 2025 junior national champion in super G and qualified for the FIS Junior World Championships both in 2025 and '26.
Â
"I chose the University of Utah because it felt like the place where I could best grow as an athlete and a person," Hagan said. "The combination of top-level facilities, an experienced coaching staff and a great team environment stood out to me."
Â
He had 13 podiums during the 2026 FIS season, including six on the Far East Cup circuit. Hagan won a giant slalom on the Far East Cup in December 2025. His week at junior worlds in 2026 included a ninth-place finish in the team combined event as well as 11th in GS.
Â
During the 2025 season at junior worlds, Hagan took fourth in GS, 12th in team combined and 16th in slalom among five total starts.
