The Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team and Copper Mountain Resort on Tuesday announced a World Cup alpine racing event will be taking place in Colorado this fall.

The races will be the first stop of the men’s World Cup season in North America and the only women’s race in the U.S. for the 2025-2026 season. The Colorado event replaces the women’s regular stop in Killington, Vermont, if approved by the FIS Council this spring.
