Ski World Cup’s North American Tour begins with weather challenges ahead
The Ski World Cup’s North American Tour kicks off on November 27 at Copper Mountain, Colorado. The opening event will be a men’s Super-G, starting at 7 p.m. French time. Over the following days, both men’s and women’s races will take place across Colorado and Canada, though some adjustments have already been made due to weather conditions.
The tour begins with a men’s Super-G on November 27, followed by a men’s giant slalom on November 28. The women’s competition starts on November 29 with a giant slalom, then a slalom on November 30.
The men’s events will then shift to Beaver Creek, Colorado, from December 5–7. A giant slalom is planned for December 5, a super-G on December 6, and another giant slalom on December 7. However, these races will run on a shortened course because of limited snow cover. The scheduled downhill race on December 4 at Beaver Creek has already been cancelled for the same reason.
Meanwhile, the women’s circuit moves to Mont-Tremblant, Canada, for two giant slalom races on December 6–7. Organisers have not yet announced any changes to these events.
The tour’s early races have faced challenges due to low snowfall, leading to cancellations and course adjustments. Despite this, the schedule remains packed, with multiple events planned across both the US and Canada over the next two weeks. Further updates may follow if weather conditions continue to affect preparations.
