The Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team and Copper Mountain Resort announced today that World Cup alpine racing will be hosted at Colorado’s Athlete’s Mountain for the first time featuring both women’s and men’s events from November 27-30, 2025. The Stifel Copper Cup, an Audi FIS Ski World Cup, will showcase women’s giant slalom and slalom events alongside the men’s super-G and giant slalom races. Hosting both the women’s and men’s competitions is a unique opportunity for ski racing fans to witness the world’s top athletes competing at the same location over one weekend.
“We are thrilled to bring World Cup racing back to Copper Mountain as part of our strategic vision to expand elite competition opportunities in the United States. We’re also pleased to support FIS, who asked for our help in providing another early season world class racing venue for the men,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “With its top training facilities and proven track record of hosting international events, Copper Mountain represents the ideal venue for showcasing the highest level of alpine racing.”
These races represent the first stop of the men’s World Cup season in North America and will be the only women’s World Cup race in the United States for the 2025-26 season. In addition, this competition holds particular significance as athletes build momentum towards the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics two months after the races.
