"The World Cup Finals represent the culmination of the entire alpine ski season, bringing together only the very best athletes in the world. Unlike regular World Cup stops, the Finals are invite-only: Only the top 25 athletes in speed disciplines and top 15 in tech disciplines qualify Plus the athlete leading the discipline standings (if not already in the top 25) And the current Junior World Champion in that discipline As well as any athlete with more than 500 FIS points from the season"
"Sun Valley will host Finals races in Downhill, Super-G, Giant Slalom, and Slalom, once again using the steep, technical Challenger course, which earned near-universal praise from athletes and coaches in March 2025. Sun Valley last hosted the Finals last year, drawing thousands of fans over a week of racing and celebration. That event delivered some of the most memorable moments of the season, including Lindsey Vonn's emotional return to the World Cup podium, finishing second on home snow in front of a roaring American crowd,"
Sun Valley, Idaho, will host the 2026–27 FIS Alpine World Cup Finals from March 20–25, 2027, returning after hosting the 2024–25 Finals. Only top athletes qualify: the top 25 in speed events, top 15 in technical events, discipline leaders, current Junior World Champions, and athletes with more than 500 FIS points. Finals races will include Downhill, Super‑G, Giant Slalom, and Slalom on the steep, technical Challenger course. The resort drew thousands of fans during its previous Finals and delivered memorable moments such as Lindsey Vonn's podium return and Mikaela Shiffrin's 101st World Cup victory.
