18th October 2023
Last modified on November 2nd, 2023
The dates and venues for the 2023/2024 FIS alpine ski World Cup season have been revealed. We look at what’s in store.
The 58th edition of alpine’s top international circuit will see the best skiers in the world compete in 90 events across four disciplines.
- Slalom
- Giant Slalom
- Super-G
- Downhill
Mikaela Shiffrin and Marco Odermatt will be defending their titles from last winter, with the two-time defending champions widely regarded as the front-runners to retain their overall titles.
British eyes will once again be on the slalom specialist, Dave Ryding.

The sporting action gets underway on Saturday 28th October with the traditional opening giant slaloms in Soelden in the Tirol in Austria.
It is one week later than in previous years.
Competitions will run until the end of March, culminating in the finals in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, which will also host the 2025 World Championships.
In a season without major championships, most of the action will take place in Europe.
There are four stops confirmed in North America, three of which are in the USA (Killington, Beaver Creek, Palisades Tahoe).
The US has a record number of FIS snowsport events this coming season as we reported in this earlier PlanetSKI article:
The Canadian resort of Mont-Tremblant in Quebec will make its inaugural appearance on the tour.
It is hosting two women’s giant slaloms in December, while the historic venue of Lake Louise was removed from the calendar, after being a feature since 1993 (excluding 2020).
In November, the speed season will kick off with the long-awaited downhills in Zermatt-Cervinia, marking the first-ever cross-border races in World Cup history.
Following last year’s cancellation for unfavourable weather conditions, this time it is hoped the event can go ahead as planned.
The individual combined and parallel events have been excluded from the World Cup programme.
The debut of the team combined, originally set for Kitzbuehel and Crans Montana, has been postponed.
For the first time, the season finale will span over two weekends instead of a single week.
