"Beaver Creek, Colorado, has officially secured positive snow control for the 2025 Stifel Birds of Prey Men's Audi FIS Ski World Cup, guaranteeing that racing will move ahead-though with a trimmed schedule. Snow control is FIS's system for determining whether a race venue has enough snow to safely hold competition, and a postponement typically signals insufficient coverage on key sections of the track."
"The green light comes with one notable change: the additional downhill originally planned for Thursday, December 4, has been removed. Organizers say the decision allows all resources to be concentrated on delivering the traditional downhill, super-G, and giant slalom races. The remaining downhill is scheduled for Friday, December 5, followed by super-G on Saturday, December 6, and giant slalom on Sunday, December 7."
Beaver Creek received positive snow control from the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) for the 2025 Stifel Birds of Prey men's World Cup, enabling racing to proceed with a reduced schedule. Snow control was delayed after unusual warm weather, and training was scheduled for Tuesday, December 2. The Local Organizing Committee will prepare for races December 5–7 using modified starts and finishes. An additional downhill on December 4 was removed to concentrate resources on the traditional downhill, super-G, and giant slalom. The downhill will run December 5, super-G December 6, and giant slalom December 7. Alternative starts will ensure course safety.
