FIS Confirms 11 World Cup Events in U.S. in 2024–2025 season

There will be 11 FIS World Cups in the United States for the 2024–2025 season, headlined by the first ever back-to-back men’s and women’s FIS Alpine World Cup speed races on the Birds of Prey track at Beaver Creek, Colorado, and the FIS Alpine World Cup Finals at Sun Valley Resort in Idaho.

“We are thrilled to have a robust domestic World Cup calendar,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard President and Chief Executive Officer Sophie Goldschmidt. “To have 11 events on home snow spanning across the country, is a testament to the growth of our sports and the fanbase following our athletes. Plus, the addition of two alpine events, including a two-weekend Birds of Prey with both men’s and women’s races and the Stifel World Finals in Sun Valley, showcases the significant value in bringing the world’s best to the U.S.”

The alpine World Cup Finals are returning to the U.S. for the first time since 2017 with Idaho’s Sun Valley Resort hosting the Stifel Sun Valley Finals. The March 22–27, 2025, event invites the top 25 athletes from each alpine discipline.

“Bringing the World Cup Finals back to the U.S. and to a storied resort like Sun Valley is exciting for the U.S. fan base,” said six-time Olympic medalist Bode Miller. “As someone who grew up with World Cup races nearby, having U.S. Ski & Snowboard continue to host events like this and raise the level of competition regularly is crucial for the continuation of our sport and inspiring the next generation of skiers. I can’t wait to watch.”

The 2024–2025 U.S. FIS World Cup circuit will begin on the east coast in Vermont with the alpine women racing giant slalom and slalom at the Stifel Killington Cup from November 30 through December 1, 2024.

“I love racing in the States — racing at Killington has been so important for our sport and now the women get to have several stops in North America,” said Olympic champion and 97-time World Cup winner Mikaela Shiffrin. “I have a lot of great memories skiing in Beaver Creek. It’s an iconic World Cup speed track with a best in the world course crew — the Talon Crew — and the surface is always incredible.”

In addition to the men’s Birds of Prey that has been hosted by Beaver Creek since 1997, the women will have the chance to race the renowned course in December the weekend. It will be the first time the women have raced on the Birds of Prey course. The men will race at Beaver Creek from December 6–8 with the women from December 14–15.

“The opportunity for women to race speed on the historic Birds of Prey course in Beaver Creek is thrilling,” said Lindsey Vonn, Olympic gold medalist and most successful U.S. downhiller in history. “I love that the women will be racing on the same track as the men and I can’t wait to cheer them on in a place that is very special to me.”

In addition to the four alpine events, the United States will have three freestyle World Cups. An aerials World Cup heads to the 1980 Winter Olympic Games host Lake Placid, New York, from January 18–19, 2025, for the first time since 2019.

New Hampshire’s Waterville Valley Resort will host a moguls and dual moguls World Cup January 25–26, 2025, before the Intermountain Health Freestyle International in Deer Valley, Utah, from February 6–8, 2025, with moguls, aerials and dual moguls World Cups.

The FIS Ski Jumping World Cup circuit will head to Lake Placid from February 8-9, 2025, for the third time since 1990. For the first time, the event will feature both men and women for mixed team and individual jumps. The women’s event will be an addition to last season’s calendar.

Additionally, there will be three freeski and snowboard World Cups in the U.S. this season, with locations to be confirmed.
