"One of alpine skiing's most iconic night races is officially on the calendar: the International Ski Federation (FIS) has approved snow conditions at Madonna di Campiglio, clearing the northern Italian resort to host the Men's Alpine Ski World Cup Night Slalom on January 7, 2026. The announcement follows a routine pre-race inspection known as "snow control," which is conducted 10 days before the event for tech races."
"The race is held on the resort's main slalom course-the Canalone Miramonti-a short, steep run that is widely regarded as one of the most demanding slalom tracks in the world. Floodlights will illuminate the slope for two runs scheduled at 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time, making it a convenient mid-morning broadcast time for U.S. audiences. Despite a challenging start to winter that included warm temperatures and rainfall, organizers say the race course is in strong shape."
FIS approved snow conditions at Madonna di Campiglio, clearing the resort to host the Men's Alpine Ski World Cup Night Slalom on January 7, 2026. Madonna di Campiglio sits in the Brenta Dolomites in northern Italy near Austria and Switzerland, with steep terrain and a finish area that drops into the village. The race will run on the Canalone Miramonti, a short, steep and demanding slalom course, under floodlights for two evening runs at 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time. Recent cold weather allowed crews to build a compact, durable base, and organizers aim to deliver a surface that rewards precision and consistency. The event consistently attracts the sport's top technical specialists and has been won in recent editions by highly accomplished slalom skiers.
