Norwegian Felix McGrath, son of former U.S. Ski Team member Felix McGrath Sr., took the course wearing bib eight.

The Birds of Prey super-G course at Beaver Creek Resort, Colorado, has been a cornerstone of men’s World Cup ski racing since its debut in December 1997. The last four super-G races held at Beaver Creek showcased a thrilling rivalry between Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and Marco Odermatt. Odermatt claimed victories in 2019 and 2021, while Kilde won back-to-back races in 2021 and 2022.

Who’s Racing, When to Watch, and How to Tune In A Storied Course in Ski

With new coaches, new confidence and more GS training, America’s downhillers are ready to race.

It’s been a while since American men have put on a decent show on home snow. This weekend, they hope to change that on the famed Birds of Prey course at Beaver Creek, Colorado.

“The first time I was on Birds of Prey was 2011,” says Ryan Cochran-Siegle. “We’ve had success intermittently, but it would be nice to put forth a stronger effort this season.”

Despite comprehensive planning and a well-orchestrated snowmaking plan relying on a world class system, the temperatures of the last few days needed to be colder to create the snow coverage required for the PwC Tremblant World Cup scheduled for December 7 and 8, 2024. These circumstances have led the organizers to decide to cancel this edition.

With Sweden’s Sara Hector leading and Croatia’s Zrinka Ljutic in second, Shiffrin had the chance to deliver a dramatic finale. However, her run came to an abrupt end when she fell on the steep pitch, sliding hard into the safety netting. The crowd fell silent, anxiously awaiting updates. Shiffrin required a rescue sled to reach the bottom and was transported to the hospital for further evaluation.

Mikaela Shiffrin delivered a masterful run that electrified the crowd. Fans, many eager to see her reach the milestone of 100 career wins, erupted in cheers as she crossed the line 1.83 seconds ahead of Grenier, firmly establishing herself as the leader.

In 2010, Mikaela Shiffrin was a rising talent few insiders predicted would make history. She had already won the prestigious Trofeo Topolino and the Whistler Cup, but her true potential remained under the radar. By January 2011, whispers of a “ski prodigy” reached Europe. At just 15, Shiffrin had started her NorAm Cup campaign with two victories in December 2010. She finished that season third overall and topped the slalom standings in the continental competition. That breakout year marked the beginning of her extraordinary career.

Mikaela Shiffrin is taking the quest for her 100th career World Cup victory to North America.

The American ski star might even get the one win she needs for the milestone in what is like a home race for her in Killington, Vermont, which hosts a giant slalom and a slalom next weekend.

Camille Rast celebrates a premiere at the first women's World Cup race in Gurgl: The 25-year-old Swiss athlete finished third in the Slalom on Saturday, taking to the podium for the first time in the World Cup. Previously, her best World Cup results have been three fourth place finishes in the Slalom. On Sunday, third place in the men's Slalom in Gurgl went to HEAD Worldcup Rebel Atle Lie McGrath.

Clément Noël skied with confidence and composure to secure his second slalom victory of the season, keeping his perfect record intact. Jakobsen finished second, 0.43 seconds back, while Lie McGrath rounded out the podium in third, just 0.44 seconds behind Noël.

Clément Noël achieves an impressive first run performance in Gürgl. Atle Lie Mcgrath (+0.88) and Steven Amiez (+0.94).

The Men’s Alpine World Cup Slalom returns to Gürgl, Austria, on Nov. 24, where racers will tackle the steep and demanding Kirchenkar slope.

Milestones were celebrated in Gürgl as Shiffrin achieved her 99th win, and Camille Rast and Lara Colturi debuted on the podium.

Mikaela Shiffrin sets the bar for the first run on the Gürgl track. Wendy Holdener is in 2nd position and Katharina Liensberger in 3rd.
