Tessa Worley (born October 4, 1989) is a World Cup alpine ski racer from France. She competes in all five alpine disciplines and specializes in giant slalom.
Worley was born in Annemasse, in the département of Haute-Savoie. Her father Steve is Australian and her mother Mad is French. She grew up skiing year-round, in France and New Zealand. Her home ski area is the resort of Le Grand-Bornand.[1]
Worley made her World Cup debut at age 16 on February 4, 2006, and finished in 29th place in a giant slalom race in Ofterschwang, Germany.[2] She finished in fifth place in the first race of the 2009 World Cup season, a giant slalom in Sölden, Austria in October 2008. A month later she won her first World Cup race (and first podium) in a GS at Aspen, Colorado, USA.
Early in the 2011 season, Worley won three consecutive GS races before January. Worley won a gold medal in the nations team event at the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch, Germany, where she was the bronze medalist in the giant slalom.
