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.

Olympic gold medalist and ski legend Deb Armstrong met up with 15-year-old ski racer Wilson Walker to run through his dry land strength training workout to help build strength for alpine skiing. Walker uses an app that allows his coaches to set up a workout for him, but that doesn't mean you can't learn a bit from his experiences. His lifting workout consisted of deadlifts, squats, RDLs, core, and much more.

Odermatt finished in 1min 29.84sec to surpass Cochran-Siegle by .30sec. Norway's Adrian Smiseth Sejersted finished third. The finish line was moved up the hill and just barely visible by fans in the stands due to a lack of snow to properly place the safety netting. The 11th race on the course, Odermatt said he was able to attack the steeper sections and carry enough speed through the flatter part.

Beaver Creek Resort, part of Vail Resorts, offers various transportation services for visitors, employees, and residents, including door-to-door on-demand and fixed-route options.
