Sun Valley Resort, Idaho’s premier winter resort, has been named host of a major event on the professional ski circuit.
Pending final FIS council approval in September 2024, it will host the Audi FIS Ski World Cup Finals, a major stop on the FIS 2024-25 Alpine Calendar, from March 22-27, 2025.
The event will welcome the world’s top alpine ski competitors to the first-ever Stifel Sun Valley Finals, who will take on Sun Valley’s long-historied slopes as they vie for the top spot in the downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom races.
“Sun Valley Resort has always been about ‘firsts,’ as America’s original destination ski resort with the world’s first chairlift,” said Pete Sonntag, Sun Valley Resort GM and VP.
“The opportunity to bring the best alpine athletes in the world to the slopes of Sun Valley is incredible,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard President and CEO Sophie Goldschmidt. “We could not be more excited to host the World Cup in the U.S. again, and we know that the Stifel Sun Valley Finals will be a massive success.”
“From its early days, Sun Valley has attracted top-level ski racers from all over the globe with our technical and challenging terrain, setting the standard for high-level competition”.
The resort’s legacy in ski racing dates back to the first Harriman Cup races of the 1930s, its first FIS World Cup in 1975 and, most recently, the U.S. Alpine Championships in 2023 and 2024 – and it is set to continue to make history as host of the first Audi FIS Ski World Cup Finals in Sun Valley.
The schedule of events is as follows:
- March 22- Men’s and Women’s Downhill
- March 23- Men’s and Women’s Super G
- March 24- Off day, no race events
- March 25- Women’s Giant Slalom
- March 26- Men’s Giant Slalom
