How to Watch This Weekend’s World Cup Races in the United States

By Published On: November 29th, 2018Comments Off on How to Watch This Weekend’s World Cup Races in the United States

This weekend marks the final stop of the FIS Ski Alpine World Cup circuit in North America with women’s speed events in Lake Louise, Alberta, while the men tackle one of the circuit’s premier courses – Birds of Prey – at Beaver Creek, Colorado. The networks of NBC will broadcast and stream more than 40 hours of coverage this weekend, including more than 30 hours of live coverage.

Mikaela Shiffrin is fresh off her 45th career World Cup victory at Vermont’s Killington Resort and shifts gears this weekend to take on a pair of downhill races and a super-G, as she looks to build upon her speed resume where she scored her first career World Cup downhill victory last season. Unfortunately, Lindsey Vonn will not be heading to “Lake Lindsey” after sustaining a minor knee injury while training at Copper Mountain, Colorado.

Following up on a pair of top-20 results at Lake Louise last weekend, Ryan Cochran-Siegle looks to tame the Birds of Prey in three events this weekend – downhill, super-G, and giant slalom. Ted Ligety finally kicks off his World Cup season this weekend at Beaver Creek after the opening GS of the season was rescheduled from Soelden, Austria, due to weather.
