Mikaela Shiffrin will kick off her 15th season in alpine skiing’s top-tier competition on Saturday 26 October with the World Cup season opener in the giant slalom at Soelden, Austria.
The Team USA star is expected to race in all 20 technical events (slalom, giant slalom) on the calendar, as well as in Super G events, but she decided to skip downhills after suffering the worst crash of her career in Cortina d'Ampezzo earlier this year.
After chasing victories in the slaloms at Levi, Finland, and Gurgl, Austria, Shiffrin will delight her home fans in Killington, Vermont on 30 November, with a start in the giant slalom there followed by a slalom.
Two weeks later, she will have the chance to race the famed Beaver Creek's Birds of Prey downhill course, which is making its debut on the women's calendar.
The slaloms in Semmering (29 Dec), Kranjska Gora (5 Jan), Flachau (14 Jan) and Courchevel (30 Jan) will give a good indication of where she is at in the race for the overall World Cup title ahead of the World Championships in Saalbach, Austria (4-15 Feb).
The tech stops in Sestriere and Are will follow, after which Shiffrin will end her season on home snow with the World Cup Finals taking place in Sun Valley, Idaho.

Mikaela Shiffrin: Chasing 100 World Cup victories
The 29-year-old from Colorado ended last season's campaign with 9 wins, securing her eighth slalom globe. Despite missing several races due to her crash in Cortina, she finished third in the overall standings.
The most successful alpine skier in World Cup history, Shiffrin holds a record of 97 wins and is expected to reach the 100-victory milestone this season. If we consider World Cup wins across all Olympic skiing disciplines, she currently trails only Swiss freeskier Conny Kissling (106) and Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjorgen (114), both of whom are retired.
The double Olympic champion also has the chance to match Annemarie Moser-Proell’s record of six overall World Cup titles and could surpass fellow American Lindsey Vonn for the most small globes in a single discipline (They are currently tied at 8 in slalom and downhill, respectively).
