Ever since Mikaela Shiffrin and Marcel Hirscher won their baby reindeer at the 2013 Levi World Cup races, athletes on the circuit have looked forward to the honor of being bestowed their own animals at the event hosted practically in Santa Claus’ backyard.

After Tina Maze turned heads with her first World Cup slalom win since Ofterschwang in March 2013, she decided to name her baby reindeer Victory in honor of a touching victory.

Young gun Henrik Kristoffersen, whose early World Cup career in the technical disciplines seems to shadow Hirscher’s, followed the Austrian by also naming his prize after his father, in this case Lars.

Lars and Victor now join Rudolf and Ferdl on the farm near Levi.
