Shiffrin will ski for the first time at this Olympics in the women's team combined event, which is making its Olympic debut. She will ski a slalom run, and teammate Breezy Johnson -- who won gold in downhill Sunday -- will ski a downhill run. The pair won the world title in this event last year. Team USA will take on longtime rival Canada in women's hockey with both sides so far undefeated in Milan.

Aicher told German broadcaster ZDF that the course had been aggressive over every jump, and that she had initially not been able to work out how good her performance had been. "It just felt absolutely wild. Every jump kind of tore me apart," she said. "To be honest, I didn't think it would work out after the run." After learning about the medal, Aicher at first expressed frustration at narrowly missing gold before realizing the scale of her achievement.

From the fashion capital of Milan to the dramatic peaks of Cortina d'Ampezzo, the Milano Cortina Games the first to be co-hosted by two cities will stretch across northern Italy blending world-class winter sport with a strong sense of history and ambition. Sixteen sports and more than 110 gold medals await, from the raw speed of alpine skiing and bobsleigh to the tactical endurance of biathlon and cross-country.

I'm just gonna go out there and ski as fast as I can and have a lot of fun. Success for me is knowing I skied my fastest.

3-time Olympic alpine skier Tommy Ford sat down with Condé Nast Traveler to discuss the different types of snow conditions you find around the world, from the Beaver Creek in Colorado to Ushuaia, Argentina, and Lake Takapō in New Zealand. The discussion was mostly surrounding the snow conditions while racing or training, not the off-piste or regular trails that most skiers are riding, but he does touch on some other forms of snow.

I was so nervous this morning and I couldn't wait to go down to ski this slope. I really like this course,

That was exciting! This is insane how many people are here. It's so cool! Thank you for coming. This crowd tonight was... I mean you can see the footprints all the way up the side of the slope. That was special.

One of alpine skiing's most iconic night races is officially on the calendar: the International Ski Federation (FIS) has approved snow conditions at Madonna di Campiglio, clearing the northern Italian resort to host the Men's Alpine Ski World Cup Night Slalom on January 7, 2026. The announcement follows a routine pre-race inspection known as "snow control," which is conducted 10 days before the event for tech races.

Olympic gold medalist and ski legend Deb Armstrong met up with 15-year-old ski racer Wilson Walker to run through his dry land strength training workout to help build strength for alpine skiing. Walker uses an app that allows his coaches to set up a workout for him, but that doesn't mean you can't learn a bit from his experiences. His lifting workout consisted of deadlifts, squats, RDLs, core, and much more.

Odermatt finished in 1min 29.84sec to surpass Cochran-Siegle by .30sec. Norway's Adrian Smiseth Sejersted finished third. The finish line was moved up the hill and just barely visible by fans in the stands due to a lack of snow to properly place the safety netting. The 11th race on the course, Odermatt said he was able to attack the steeper sections and carry enough speed through the flatter part.
