Sun Valley in Idaho is slated to host the 2025 Alpine World Cup Finals, but there's something else on the resort's horizon even sooner.

Specifically, the "Toyota U.S. Alpine Championships presented by Stifel!"

It isn't Sun Valley's first rodeo with this event, either. The U.S. Alpine Championships ran at the resort last year, as well.

"Sun Valley is proud to welcome back the Toyota U.S. Alpine Championships presented by Stifel to our historic resort for the 2nd year in a row!"

"Running March 20th-24th, you're invited to cheer on the elite & next generation ski racers vying for their place on the U.S. National Team during the final competition on the National ski racing circuit!"

The festivities begin on March 20, 2024. The week of races begins with the men’s and women’s super-G events on Wednesday, and an awards ceremony to follow at the Grayhawk finish.

Thursday marks the super-G championship races followed by awards and the official opening ceremony in Ketchum Town Square from 4:30-7:30pm.

Men’s and women’s giant slalom races will take place on Friday and Saturday respectively. Sunday concludes the five days of racing, with both men’s and women’s slalom events.

Sun Valley has events going on besides the racing, too: from Friday through Sunday, the Warm Springs Plaza will have a Vendor Village set up from 9am-4pm, apres ski music from 2-5pm, and athlete signings throughout the weekend.

Sun Valley hosted this competition previously in 2023, 2018, and 2016, and Pete Sonntag, Sun Valley Resort's General Manager and Vice President, expressed his delight for the return of the upcoming event.

"We are thrilled to welcome back the Toyota U.S. Alpine Championships presented by Stifel for the second year running, hosting some of the nation’s fastest alpine racers and up-and-comers in the prestigious culmination of their season’s hard work. Sun Valley Resort is rich in ski racing history, from the first Harriman Cup in 1937 to our first FIS World Cup in 1977, and we’re excited to keep the legacy of ski racing alive as we welcome back the Toyota U.S. Alpine Championships.”

We're pretty stoked for this one, too!
