Alpine Skiing legend Mikaela Shiffrin will be back to defend her giant slalom title this coming weekend. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World 2023/24 had witnessed the 28-year-old legend clinch her 6th slalom title. Now, she’s back again with her worthy counterparts, including the Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami.

After 40 long years, the Canadian resort will invite top-tier skiers to lock horns. Among the favorites, Petra Vlhova, Behrami, Wendy Holdener and Shiffrin have the most eyes this season. So, keeping the world at its feet, the Alpine Ski World Cup wishes to experience a hassle-free event at a very special venue.

Mikaela Shiffrin returns to Tremblant

Audi FIS Ski World Cup took to its Instagram handle to post, “🇨🇦 New location, new thrilling stories to be written! Get ready for another weekend of fantastic challenges and surprises!” On December 2-3, the Quebec resort in Mont Tremblant, Canada, will return after decades with its elite alpine circuit.

The video featured the skiers racing past like fierce athletes with snow flying around. Lara Gut-Behrami said, “Yeah I’m super happy and it’s amazing for me.” Moreover, the crowd cheering atop their voices at seeing the skiers in action was a one-of-a-kind scene. Another weekend of hugging, falling, and shedding tears is upcoming.

Having said so, on Shiffrin’s 90th World Cup victory, the 28-year-old Olympian had made up her mind to root for her 91st victory. Shiffrin’s last Canada race took place in 2021, which didn’t gift her a podium finish. She instead clinched a Super G 6th position at Lake Louis, Canada.
