The 2023–2024 Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup has marked its 58th edition beginning starting October 28th. The finest of Alpine skiing athletes have flown across the world to try to get their hands on the crystal globe; battling through 90 races. After completing one course of its schedule and having 2 others canceled out, the Men’s most anticipated event reached the United States for the 4th track but to no avail.

For the first running course of the season, the World Cup made its presence in Gurgl. Manuel Feller, the Slalom star, dominated the grounds to claim the first win of the event. However, for some time that seems to be the only win in the season and the organization’s recent update only confirms it.

Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup 2023/24 faces yet another disappointment

From the 1st of December to the 3rd, Beaver Creek Resort stood prepared to host the 4th leg of the tour. Unfortunately, the weather did not seem to lend a hand. “Too much wind this morning in @bcworldcup. The Super G race had to be canceled. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers and the hardworking team,” the caption read. 

The Super-G race planned for Sunday was the final hope of the three-day event following 2 cancellations. According to reports, strong winds and heavy snowfall are said to have caused the men’s downhill. The consecutive cancellations brought out the unrest in the awaiting fans.
