The stars have aligned perfectly for hometown hero Mikaela Shiffrin to record her 100th career World Cup victory in front of tens of thousands of East Coast Alpine ski fans during the upcoming Killington Cup. The resort received the green light last week to host the eighth edition of the event, which will feature nearly 100 athletes representing 21 countries. Saturday’s giant slalom competition will be followed by Sunday’s slalom action, giving Shiffrin two chances to join the century club. “It's not impossible, but so many things have to go right,” Shiffrin said. “So, from the outside, it looks like it is supposed to happen this way. But it's certainly not easy: I am not taking that for granted. But I hope to do a good performance in front of the home crowd.” The former Burke Mountain Academy standout will have extra motivation to stand atop the podium while racing in front of a packed crowd that has swelled to over 20,000 spectators each day during some years. She opened the season with a slalom victory in Levi, Finland before triumphing again last weekend, setting the stage for a potential grand homecoming if she reaches the 10-win milestone in the Green Mountain State. “I guess there is a bit of pressure around it, but I’ll try to ignore that,” Shiffrin said. “Anyway, if it happens, it’s wonderful. If it doesn’t happen, kind of nothing to cry about in the grand scheme. But I hope to have a really good performance in front of the home crowd.” Killington Resort recently received a positive snow control announcement from FIS, guaranteeing that the popular Superstar trail will be filled with some of the fastest racers from around the globe this weekend. The Killington Cup has been a regular stop on the international circuit since 2016 and was the first U.S. venue to host a women’s World Cup in the eastern United States since 1991. This year’s races will be broadcast to an audience of 2.1 million people in 60 countries. Shiffrin is already the winningest World Cup skier in history and was sitting at 98 victories entering last weekend’s chilly race in Gurgl, Austria. No other skier, male or female, has won more than 86 World Cup races. Shiffrin set the best mark when she overtook Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark in March 2023. Shiffrin has triumphed in the last six slaloms she competed in, including all four since her return from a knee injury following a downhill crash in January. The Colorado native didn’t hold back while speeding down the Austrian Alps last weekend to push her career total to 99 victories. On Saturday, the two-time Olympic champion held on to her first-run lead to beat Italian prodigy Lara Colturi, who starts for Albania, by 0.55 seconds and Swiss skier Camille Rast by 0.57. They both got their first career podium result. In the first run, Shiffrin wasn’t clean going into the steep of the Kirchenkar course but gained time on all competitors with a near-flawless section toward the finish. “It’s a pretty strange surface, like cold and dry,” Shiffrin said. “It’s hard to be clean on the skis. So, I was feeling a little bit funky on some spots. But in the end, I kept pushing forward, just stayed on top of it and pushed to the finish. I find it to be really challenging on this condition to find the right setup to feel clean and to feel like you can unleash the skis.” Shiffrin acknowledged being “really nervous at the top” before the start of her second run, adding that she didn’t think a victory was in the cards. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel with the surface,” she said. “It was getting darker. Sometimes when I am not sure about the feeling under my feet, then I take too much time to make the turn. ...I could hear all the women going down and their teams were cheering, and that always means they had a really good run.” Shiffrin initially extended her lead to more than seven-tenths of a second and only lost fractions of that over the last two sections. “It feels really satisfying to have a really great run down this slope,” she said. “What a wonderful day. Sharing the podium with two young competitors earning their first top-three results made Shiffrin think back to when she got her first career podium — at a slalom at another Austrian venue, Lienz, in 2011. “It was incredible, with Marlies (Raich) and Tina (Maze),” recalled Shiffrin, who started that race with bib No. 40 but finished third. “It was such a special feeling, like ‘Oh my God, I am here, and I should be here, and I belong here,’” she said. “It’s just in the beginning of your career. And the future, there is no limit. That’s just such a wonderful feeling.” Swiss skier Wendy Holdener, who was second after Saturday’s opening run, dropped to fourth. Shiffrin’s teammate Paula Moltzan, a former University of Vermont standout trailed by 1.10 seconds and wound up sixth. Olympic champion Petra Vlhova, Shiffrin’s biggest rival in slalom, hasn’t returned to racing yet after undergoing knee surgery last season. After the upcoming events in Killington, the 16-day North American portion of the World Cup continues with two giant slaloms in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, and a super-G in Beaver Creek, Colorado. The cost for general admission tickets for the Killlington Cup is $10. A portion of all ticket sales will benefit the Killington World Cup Foundation, providing grants that support winter sports in the Northeast. Skiing and riding will also be available to the public as the resort’s snowmaking team continues its efforts to expand skiable terrain.Angel Di María (AC Milan)
