12月2日的雪盟对谈中，肖恩怀特强调了#谷爱凌# 加入联盟担任全球大使和参赛运动员的重要性：
“We needed someone who could authentically represent freeski and inspire fans, especially across Asia. Eileen brings excitement, global recognition, and a deep understanding of her sport. She asks the right questions, she pushes boundaries, and she has the same passion for innovation that drives this league.”
