FIS Alpine Junior World Championships

Whiteface Mountain and Lake Placid will host the Stifel 2027 FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships March 2-12, marking the event’s first return to the United States in 33 years. Stifel will serve as title sponsor as the world’s top junior alpine racers compete for world titles and World Cup Finals opportunities.

Vonn weighed in on last week’s social media brouhaha around the women’s tech races at the 2024 Junior World Ski Championships not being livestreamed while both men’s tech races were. Lack of livestreams for women’s tech races at Junior Worlds ignites social media.

Portes du Soleil, France, Jan. 31, 2024 — Today was a big day of racing at the 2024 FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in Portes du Soleil, France, a weeklong event that brings together the best under-21 ski racers in the world. In the morning, athletes raced men’s and women’s Super G events at the Linga venue in Châtel, marking a second day of speed events

The 2024 FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships opened on January 30 with the men’s and women’s downhill races, held in Châtel, one of 12 resorts in Portes du Soleil, France. While the weather has been warm and sunny at the lower elevations, Châtel features north-facing slopes at the end of a valley, so the track stayed cold and hard for the speed events. 

The 43rd FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships kicked off on January 29 with the opening ceremonies in Morzine, France, in the Haute Savoie region
