Sun Valley Paralympian Jake Adicoff added to his trophy case Wednesday afternoon, winning the FIS 10km interval classic Para Cross-Country World Championship.

Adicoff won the race with guide Reid Goble on a sunny afternoon in Toblach/Dobbiaco, Italy. Goble has skied with the Bridger Ski Foundation. Sim Valley’s Peter Wolter also is in Italy serving as a guide for Adicoff, in addition to tackling some of his own races.

This is Adicoff’s first world championship appearance of 2025. He is joined by Dani Aravich of Boise, Dan Cnossen and Sydney Peterson on Team USA.

Adicoff has been visually impaired since birth, having contracted chicken pox in utero. He is a three-time Paralympian, having competed at the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia; the 2018 Paralympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the 2022 Paralympic Games in Beijing, China. He has Olympic gold and three silver medals.

Prior to Wednesday he had also won three gold, three silver and one bronze medals in World Championship, the most recent before now being gold in the 1km Sprint Freestyle in 2023.

The 29-year-old who studied at Bowdoin College was introduced to cross country skiing through the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s Junior Nordic Development team in second grade. He has spent much of his competitive career racing in an able -bodied field, having competed in two junior national championships and a few Boulder Mountain Tours.

He is the son of Sun Valley residents Sam Adicoff and Sue Conner.
