Sun Valley’s Legendary Downhill Returns: 2025 World Cup Finals Revive Historic Venue

The Challenger Downhill is more than just a new racecourse—it’s a revival of Sun Valley’s rich ski racing history. With the 2025 Audi FIS World Cup Finals set to bring the world’s best skiers to Idaho, the new downhill track blends past and present, drawing inspiration from the legendary Harriman Cup races of the 1930s. Designed by renowned course builder Tom "Cowboy" Johnston, the track is steeper than any current World Cup downhill, demanding technical skill and pure speed. As athletes prepare to take on the steep, twisting gully and massive jumps, they’ll be racing not just for victory—but to cement a new legacy for speed events in the United States.
