The 2024–25 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, organised by the International Ski Federation (FIS), is the 59th World Cup season for men and women as the highest level of international alpine skiing competitions.[1][2]

The season started on 26 October 2024 in Sölden, Austria, and will end on 27 March 2025 at the finals in Sun Valley, United States.[3][4]

Marco Odermatt (men's) and Lara Gut-Behrami (women's), both from Switzerland, are the reigning champions from the previous season.

The season will take a break in February due to the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2025 in Saalbach, Austria.

Season overview

[edit]

The provisional race calendar was published on 9 May 2024.[5] As a result, the downhill race in Zermatt-Cervinia, which was criticized in previous seasons, was removed from the calendar.[6] The final race calendar was published on 25 September.

This season marks the return of two renowned skiers to the men's World Cup tour, both of whom had previously announced their retirements. Austria's eight-time overall World Cup champion, Marcel Hirscher, is making a comeback, now representing the Netherlands.[7]
Additionally, the 2022–23 World Cup slalom champion, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, also made a comeback after switching his nationality from Norway to Brazil.[8]

Some athletes who suffered injuries last season will not be able to fully compete throughout this entire season. These athletes include, among others: Sofia Goggia, Petra Vlhová, Valérie Grenier, and Alexis Pinturault (all scheduled to return in December 2024), as well as Corinne Suter, Marco Schwarz and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who will not compete this season.

For the first time since the Super-G event in Val Gardena in 2015, and for the first time ever in a Giant Slalom, three Norwegian athletes have claimed spots on the podium.[9]

Lara Colturi, representing Albania (SL in Gurgl), and Pinheiro Braathen, representing Brazil (GS in Beaver Creek), made history by securing their countries' first-ever World Cup podium finishes.

Tormis Laine representing Estonia (SL in Levi) scored the first World Cup points for his country.

At 35 years, 1 month, and 3 days old, Thomas Tumler set a new record as the oldest skier to win his first race in the giant slalom.
