PARK CITY, Utah — On Tuesday, U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced that the International Ski Federation (FIS) provisionally approved four FIS Alpine Ski World Cup events to be hosted by the United States during the 2022-23 season. These four events will officially double the amount of alpine World Cups in the U.S. in recent years.

Over the last five years, the U.S. has hosted two alpine World Cup events, including the women’s Killington Cup in Killington, Vermont and the men’s Xfinity Birds of Prey at Beaver Creek, Colorado. Once fully approved, U.S. Ski & Snowboard will welcome alpine ski racing to Palisades Tahoe in California and Aspen Mountain in Colorado, which marks the most World Cups on American soil since the 1996-97 season.

“We are thrilled to bring four World Cups to U.S. venues this season to provide our country’s ski racing fans with more opportunities to see the best skiers across the globe compete on our home turf,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard President & CEO Sophie Goldschmidt. “This is a pivotal move for our organization and FIS to grow the sport within the United States and make events more accessible to attend. The expansion gives us a further opportunity to bring more attention to the sport domestically and inspire the next generation of U.S. athletes.”
