Henrik Kristoffersen sealed the slalom globe, but another Norwegian stole the win—and Stifel U.S. Ski Team’s Ben Ritchie delivered a breakout performance to close his season in style. The final run of the 2025 World Cup had it all, right down to the last racer.
Lara Gut-Behrami made history with a powerful win at the Stifel Sun Valley World Cup Finals, while Italy’s Federica Brignone clinched the women’s giant slalom globe with a fearless second run. All three Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes finished inside the top 15 and scored World Cup points on home snow.
Austria went 1-2 in Sun Valley’s debut World Cup super-G, while Marco Odermatt clinched another crystal globe and North Americans battled a brutal new course. Feurstein, Haaser, and von Allmen made the podium—but that’s only part of the story.
Led by Jon Rucker, president of HEAD USA Wintersports, HEAD has shown up this week as a major player in the World Cup Finals, expressing the company’s enthusiasm for highlighting these iconic races in Sun Valley, Idaho.
