With new coaches, new confidence and more GS training, America’s downhillers are ready to race.

It’s been a while since American men have put on a decent show on home snow. This weekend, they hope to change that on the famed Birds of Prey course at Beaver Creek, Colorado.

“The first time I was on Birds of Prey was 2011,” says Ryan Cochran-Siegle. “We’ve had success intermittently, but it would be nice to put forth a stronger effort this season.”

Marcel Hirscher reflects on his ACL injury in a candid hospital interview. Read what he had to say, his gratitude for his comeback and his focus on recovery.

Marcel Hirscher’s highly anticipated return to alpine ski racing has ended prematurely due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee. The eight-time overall World Cup champion sustained the injury during a training session on Monday at Reiteralm, Austria. The injury, described as a "harmless slip" caused by an inside ski error, also included minor damage to the outer capsule of his knee but did not involve a fall.

Despite comprehensive planning and a well-orchestrated snowmaking plan relying on a world class system, the temperatures of the last few days needed to be colder to create the snow coverage required for the PwC Tremblant World Cup scheduled for December 7 and 8, 2024. These circumstances have led the organizers to decide to cancel this edition.

The day after her fall in the giant slalom in Killington, Mikaela Shiffrin's diagnosis has been announced. The US ski star is temporarily out of action.

Mikaela Shiffrin crashed during the second run of Saturday's Killington giant slalom. She shared her thoughts from her hospital bed.

With Sweden’s Sara Hector leading and Croatia’s Zrinka Ljutic in second, Shiffrin had the chance to deliver a dramatic finale. However, her run came to an abrupt end when she fell on the steep pitch, sliding hard into the safety netting. The crowd fell silent, anxiously awaiting updates. Shiffrin required a rescue sled to reach the bottom and was transported to the hospital for further evaluation.

Mikaela Shiffrin delivered a masterful run that electrified the crowd. Fans, many eager to see her reach the milestone of 100 career wins, erupted in cheers as she crossed the line 1.83 seconds ahead of Grenier, firmly establishing herself as the leader.

Dasha Romanov’s journey back to the slopes hits another roadblock. After recovering from a herniated disc, the U.S. skier now faces a concussion and whiplash following a car accident, delaying her highly anticipated comeback.

In 2010, Mikaela Shiffrin was a rising talent few insiders predicted would make history. She had already won the prestigious Trofeo Topolino and the Whistler Cup, but her true potential remained under the radar. By January 2011, whispers of a “ski prodigy” reached Europe. At just 15, Shiffrin had started her NorAm Cup campaign with two victories in December 2010. She finished that season third overall and topped the slalom standings in the continental competition. That breakout year marked the beginning of her extraordinary career.

When FIS announced that athletes could wear sponsors logos on the sides of their helmets, it presented an opportunity for athletes to make more cash and build their visibility through brand ambassador partnerships. Atle Lie McGrath—arguably the most personable and popular young star on the circuit—had his share of offers but wanted a relationship that went beyond a paycheck and a logo. The 24-year-old explains: “I really wanted to be able to represent something that meant something to me that I could be very, very proud to be a part of.”
