World Cup Race News

ASPEN- It’s been three seasons since three American men qualified in a FIS World Cup slalom, and for the Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes who just completed their North American leg of the tour, there’s no place like home.

The final regular season Men’s World Cup GS race, slated for Saturday, March 9th, had to be called off due to a lack of snow on the Podkoren Race slope in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. Recent high temperatures caused a considerable reduction in the snowpack. With daytime temperatures soaring into the 60s, the venue, once ready to host the World Cup GS, could now only accommodate a slalom event requiring less width and length.
