The 2025 Lauberhorn downhill delivered unforgettable drama under perfect conditions on one of Alpine skiing’s most iconic tracks. Marco Odermatt led a Swiss one-two finish, setting a new course record and securing his second Wengen downhill victory, with teammate Franjo Von Allmen taking second and Slovenia’s Miha Hrobat rounding out the podium. North Americans also impressed, with four racers finishing in the top 10, led by Canada’s Cameron Alexander in fifth and Bryce Bennett in sixth. The day’s action included spectacular performances, a mid-race delay due to a crash, and the electrifying roar of the Wengen crowd celebrating the sport’s best on this legendary stage.

Franjo Von Allmen, a 23-year-old Swiss rising star, earned his first World Cup victory in the Wengen Super-G. With a near-flawless run on the iconic Lauberhorn, he thrilled the home crowd and showcased his potential among ski racing’s elite.

Sweden’s Sara Hector claimed a commanding victory at the Kranjska Gora Giant Slalom, securing her second win of the season and taking the lead in the GS standings. Albania’s rising star Lara Colturi earned her first career GS podium in second, while New Zealand’s Alice Robinson, known for her power and aggression, finished third. AJ Hurt delivered her best result of the season in 10th, with teammate Nina O’Brien close behind in 11th. Austria’s Julia Scheib impressed with the fastest second run, climbing to fourth, while Argentina’s Francesca Baruzzi Farriol made history by scoring her first World Cup points in 30th.

Sweden’s Sara Hector dominated the first run on Kranjska Gora’s challenging Podkoren slope, leading by 1.19 seconds. Surprises included Italy’s Federica Brignone failing to finish and 18-year-old Lara Colturi delivering the second-fastest time. North Americans AJ Hurt and Nina O’Brien also impressed, while higher bibs capitalized on opportunities to qualify for the afternoon finale.

Norway’s Timon Haugan delivered a dominant performance to win the 2024 Alta Badia World Cup Slalom, marking the second slalom victory of his career. Haugan’s clean and attacking skiing secured a commanding margin over Switzerland’s Loïc Meillard, who surged six spots with the second-fastest run of the day, and teammate Atle Lie McGrath, who claimed his third podium of the season. Stifel U.S. Ski Team’s Jett Seymour also impressed, finishing 13th to cap off a thrilling day on the Gran Risa course.

The St. Moritz Super-G finale was canceled due to unstable weather, delaying Lauren Macuga and Lindsey Vonn’s next opportunity to compete until St. Anton in January.

The first of two St. Moritz super-G races delivered excitement from start to finish, with Lindsey Vonn’s much-anticipated comeback adding a historic layer to the event. While Austria’s Cornelia Hütter claimed victory and a star-studded podium showcased the best in the sport, Vonn’s 14th-place finish proved she remains a formidable competitor. The race also highlighted strong performances from the Italian team, which placed four skiers in the top six, demonstrating their dominance in speed events.

Approaching her first World Cup race in nearly six years, Lindsey Vonn is back in her happy place. The 40-year-old feels stronger and better prepared to race than ever before.

Lindsey Vonn is still getting her ski equipment dialed in and getting used to going full speed again on her new titanium knee.

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.”

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.”
