Who is racing in Levi, when, and how to watch the women's second World Cup Slalom of the new season

Over last week, from December 13th to the 16th, the women competed in an exciting NorAm in Mont-Tremblant, Canada. It was four days of tech events with two slalom and two giant slalom races.

The buzz in the skiing world is real – Sun Valley Resort is set to host the 2025 Alpine World Cup Finals, and it's creating a wave of excitement. When Ski Racing Media caught wind of the rumors surrounding Sun Valley's potential as the host, they reached out to U.S. Ski & Snowboard for confirmation.

Marco "The Magnificent" Odermatt continues his domination of men's giant slalom. Switzerland's Odermatt used his unmatched skills to win his fourth career Alta Badia Gran Risa GS. It was the 17th GS victory of his career. It is hard to believe what this man is capable of. Men's GS is filled with exceptional talent, but Odermatt delivers a level the field can not match.

Starting five World Cups in five days, the Swiss were concerned about how much energy Marco Odermatt had remaining in his legs. However, he seemed to have found plenty in reserve. His first run in the final GS of 2023 was everything fans hope to see from the world's best.

Get set for tomorrow's Alta Badia GS after today's heart-pounding race, where Marco Odermatt clinched his thrilling 16th World Cup GS victory. The Gran Risa slope witnessed Odermatt's dominance again, with Filip Zubcic providing a fierce challenge.

Odermatt, who raced the previous three days in Val Gardena/Gröden, showed no lack of energy while winning his career 16th World Cup GS.

The Italian duo won back the podium on the challenging Val-d'Isère super-G course, with Federica Brignone taking first place. Lauren Macuga of Stifel US Ski Team earned 17th-place.

The first racer on the Gran Risa was Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen. However, after the first seven racers skied, he was (+1.91) behind the Swiss leader Marco Odermatt. When Odermatt skis with his average precision and balance, no one in the world can match him.

Tomorrow, the women switch over to super-G in Val-d'Isère. Goggia won the first super-G race of the season, will she achieve first again?

Prepare for an exhilarating clash of titans as the men gear up to conquer the Val d'Isère Giant Slalom (GS) showdown on Saturday, December 9th.

Today belongs to Italy. On home soil, the big man Dominik Paris won his first World Cup since March 2022. The winner of 22 career World Cups is the toast of Val Gardena/Gröden.

Jasmine Flury's triumphant run in the Val-d'Isère downhill marked a thrilling milestone in her career as her first downhill World Cup win.

The men continued onto the next stop in the Stifel Success NorAm Cup with another weekend in Colorado. The tech events moved to Beaver Creek Resort, where the men competed in two days of giant slalom and two days of slalom. 

The Val Gardena/Gröden World Cup is gearing up for a nail-biting showdown tomorrow as the top racers prepare to tackle the legendary Saslong downhill from the challenging top start. Saturday, December 16th, promises to add around 30 seconds to Thursday's race times, setting the stage for an exhilarating and much more tiring battle.

After a thrilling display of World Cup racing in St. Moritz, Switzerland, the women crossed into France for another speed weekend in Val-d'Isère.

The winner of the first men's super-G of the 2023-24 season is Austrian star Vincent Kriechmayr. Kriechmayr used high-speed skiing in sections one and three to finish a mere (-0.02) faster than his teammate Daniel Hemetsberger. The 2021 World Champion wins his eighth World Cup super-G of his career.
