In 2022, Haley Cutler was doing what most of the ski racing world was doing—watching the Beijing Winter Olympics. Among the competitors in the speed events were former peers, women she had either grown up racing with or encountered on the FIS circuit. She was overcome with a revelation: “We’ve all competed against each other before. Why can't we do that again? Why can't I be there with them?”

Racing for the first time on Beaver Creek’s Birds of Prey downhill course, the world’s fastest women know they must enlist every tactical skill in the playbook.

VAL D’ISÈRE, France – Marco Schwarz is making his highly anticipated return to the World Cup circuit this weekend. The Austrian skier will compete in Sunday’s slalom in Val d’Isère, nearly a year after suffering a cruciate ligament tear and just three and a half months after disc surgery.

Lindsey Vonn will test out the downhill and super-G courses as a forerunner before the Stifel Birds of Prey World Cup races this weekend in Beaver Creek, Colorado.

Growing up and learning to ski near Oslo with a Norwegian father and Brazilian mother, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen emerged as a significant force within the Norwegian Ski Federation. His passion for personal branding and sponsorships brought him into conflict with the Norwegian Ski Federation, whose restrictions on athlete sponsorships clashed with his vision. This disagreement played a significant role in his decision to step away from competitive skiing.

“It’s worse than expected, and I need surgery,” AJ Ginnis told skinews.ch, confirming earlier reports of knee problems.

Swiss Sweep in Beaver Creek Ends with Tumler’s Historic Win

The final race of the weekend capped a remarkable performance for Switzerland, as Thomas Tumler claimed his first World Cup victory in Beaver Creek, making it three wins in three races for the Swiss team.

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

Norwegian Felix McGrath, son of former U.S. Ski Team member Felix McGrath Sr., took the course wearing bib eight. Delivering a composed and technically brilliant run, McGrath crossed the finish line in third place, 1.01 seconds behind Tumler and 0.65 behind Kranjec, keeping the competition tight heading into the final run.
