Between its World Cup and European Cup teams, the Norwegian Ski Association announced in mid April the 37 athletes who will compete under the nation's flag during the 2018/19 season. A total of 16 female skiers and 20 male skiers round out the selections for the World Cup and European Cup teams. Additionally, Para elite racer Jesper Saltvik Pedersen was also named to the national team. 

"Norwegian skiing has had great success at all levels and across both genders. That's why the battle for spots on the teams is tough, but it brings us forward. We are excited that the efforts on the women's side have shown over time that we have depth and a team that is powerful in all disciplines. Now it's time to prepare for the job next season that will bring new highlights,"  said Alpine Director Claus Johan Ryste.
