The International Ski & Snowboard Federation preliminarily confirmed the return of a robust slate of U.S. Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup events for the 2026-27 season, welcoming the world’s best skiers back to some of the most iconic venues in the United States. The FIS Council will confirm the final schedule in spring 2026. 

2026-27 DOMESTIC FIS ALPINE SKI WORLD CUP SCHEDULE

• Nov. 28-29, 2026 – Copper Cup – men’s super-G, giant slalom

• Nov. 28-29, 2026 – Stifel Killington Cup – women’s giant slalom, slalom

• Dec. 3-6, 2026 – Stifel Birds of Prey – men’s downhill (2), super-G, giant slalom

• Dec. 12-13, 2026 – Stifel Birds of Prey – women’s downhill, super-G

• March 20-25, 2027 – Stifel Sun Valley Finals – men’s and women’s downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom

The domestic schedule features five alpine World Cup stops in the United States, underscoring the Stifel U.S. Ski Team’s continued role as a premier host on the global winter sports calendar.

After massive success in 2025, Copper Mountain will host the Copper Cup for the second time in two years, welcoming the men’s alpine World Cup back to the Colorado venue Nov. 28-29, 2026. Beaver Creek’s legendary Stifel Birds of Prey returns in early December with four days of men’s racing from Dec. 3-6, 2026, followed by the women’s downhill and super-G Dec. 12-13, 2026. The women raced for the first time at the venue in 2024.

The Stifel Killington Cup returns on Nov. 28-29, 2026, after a one-year hiatus in 2025 due to on-mountain chairlift construction. Since debuting in 2016, Killington has been a cornerstone of the women’s World Cup calendar for nearly a decade, consistently delivering electric crowds and world-class racing in giant slalom and slalom.

The alpine season will culminate with the Stifel Sun Valley Finals, the FIS World Cup Finals, set for March 20-25, 2027, where men and women will compete in downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom as World Cup season titles are decided on U.S. snow. It is the second time Sun Valley will host the World Cup Finals, following the monumentally successful 2025 Stifel Sun Valley Finals. 

“Bringing the World Cup back to these iconic American venues reflects the passion of U.S. fans and the strength of our events,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “Returning to Copper for the second time in two years, welcoming women back to Beaver Creek, and continuing nearly a decade of racing at Killington underscores our commitment to growing the sport at home while delivering unforgettable moments for athletes and fans alike.”

The World Cup schedule is preliminary and pending final Council approval in Spring 2026.
