Alpine Ski World Cup Road Trip

The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup for the 2025-2026 winter season kicks off with the Giant Slalom in Sölden, Austria, and concludes with the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley in March. The highlight of the upcoming season will be the Alpine World Ski Championships held in Crans-Montana.

Mikaela Shiffrin secured the Slalom Crystal Globe by earning 980 points out of a possible 1000 in the Alpine Ski World Cup Slalom season, achieving nine wins and one second-place finish. The Swiss duo of Camille Rast (538 points) and Wendy Holdener (498 points) finished in second and third place, respectively.

On June 11, at the 57th FIS Congress in Belgrade, Liechtenstein's Alexander Ospelt won the presidency of the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) by a single vote, defeating the incumbent Johan Eliasch.

Since its inception in 1967, Giant Slalom has been an integral part of the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup. At the end of October, the 2025-2026 winter season kicks off with the traditional Women's and Men's Giant Slalom races on the Rettenbach Glacier in Soelden.
