Goodness gracious, Mikaela Shiffrin left the Courchevel night slalom and went to work to improve. She seems to have achieved the impossible; the best got even better. Skiing with bib seven and her US Stifel teammate, Paula Moltzan, in the finish with a significant lead, Shiffrin delivered a run that left no doubt about her dominance. Moltzan was a rocket with a few testing bobbles typical of skiing at the limit, but Shiffrin was faster (-1.14).

When Stifel US Ski Team's Mikaela Shiffrin is at the top of her game, she is nearly impossible to beat. She left the second run start with a (-1.25) advantage and skied powerfully but used a more conservative line. Taking full advantage of the wisdom of a veteran champion.

The women's last first run of 2023 was spectacular. The current World Cup discipline leader, Mikaela Shiffrin skied as she has for most of the year, which is inspirational. Although her lifelong rival, Slovakia's Petra Vlhová, skied brilliantly, she could not execute through the most challenging hairpin with the skill of the world's best. Stifel US Ski Team's Shiffrin will ski last again on the second run and poetically close out 2023. Although Shiffrin was only (-0.17) faster than Vlhová, the Slovakian finished the first run (-1.06) faster than third-place Austrian Katharina Liensberger.

Today, it didn't require second-run perfection for Marco Odermatt to win his third consecutive Val d'Isère giant slalom. He left the start with a (-1.23) advantage over Austria's Marco Schwarz and fought the entire way using astonishing athleticism to cross with a (-0.98) victory

It’s a serious step to add downhill to one’s repertoire. Still, for Radamus, who lives in nearby Edwards and grew up racing with Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, it seemed only appropriate for the World Cup’s one-stop at his home hill to be the place for his inaugural downhill race. However, with both downhill races canceled at Beaver Creek due to the weekend's inclement weather, River Radamus’ World Cup downhill debut will have to wait.

Given the increasing crossover between speed and tech, as well as the gap for athletes seeking international race experience who aren’t yet ready to step up to the World Cup, a new women’s team has formed this year, focusing on giant slalom and Super G and competitors on both the Europa Cup and World Cup.

Once more, history repeated itself as adverse weather conditions led to today’s cancellation of the

For the first time this season, Lara Gut-Behrami didn't win a race she entered. Today, Italy's 33-year-old Federica Brignone became the oldest woman to win a World Cup GS. On a race hill that demanded considerable power for nearly 69 seconds, the veteran showed she had what it took to be the fastest.

Mikaela Shiffrin wins her second slalom of the new season. After Petra Vlhová put down a seemingly unbeatable second run and took a huge lead, Shiffrin delivered an even better performance. The Stifel Killington Cup victory represents her sixth Killington World Cup slalom victory and her career 55th. It also brings her career World Cup victory total to 90. However, after six runs of women's slalom, it is clear that Vlhová is far from conceding the 2024 slalom title. Hopefully, this battle of the Titans will still be undecided until the finals.

For the first time this season, Slovakia's Petra Vlhová wasn't the fastest during a slalom run she finished. Today, Stifel US Ski Team superstar Mikaela Shiffrin will take the lead into the afternoon finale. Shiffrin mentioned before the Sölden race that, for multiple reasons, she would build into the season. If this run was just another step forward, the rest of the season will likely be fantastic. Shiffrin has always worked tirelessly to improve, It is promising ski racing fans will continue to be entertained by her excellent performances.
