The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) has released its 2024-2025 alpine racing World Cup calendar.

In Canada and the U.S., the upcoming World Cup includes stops at Killington, Sun Valley, Beaver Creek, and Tremblant. Palisades Tahoe, which hosted a World Cup event this season, is not on the calendar next winter.

The calendar notes that these dates and locations are “subject to FIS council approval.”

The 2024-2025 World Cup season is set to kick off at Sölden, Austria, for female and male competitors. Later in the winter, many of the female and male events will occur at different locations, as is standard for the World Cup. For instance, the Killington slalom events will only see female competitors.

This past season, Lara Gut-Behrami and Marco Odermatt won the overall women’s and men’s fields, respectively. Mikaela Shiffrin, a strong favorite in the women’s field, spent part of the season sidelined by an injury. Still, Shiffrin placed third overall.

Just after the end of the 2023-2024 World Cup, Shiffrin noted on social media that she’s “already started the prep season” for next winter, as well as thanking her family, coaches, and sponsors.

Odermatt clinched the overall title a month before the end of the season in Palisades Tahoe, where he won his 10th consecutive giant slalom event.

At 32, Gut-Behrami became the oldest woman to win the World Cup overall title. She won her first overall title during the 2015-2016 season.

The World Cup overall title accounts for athlete’s performance across all the alpine racing disciplines by awarding points based on where they place in any given race. As Odermatt displayed, it’s mathematically possible to win the overall title well before the season ends.
