Overview
- Mikaela Shiffrin topped the Copper Mountain slalom by 1.57 seconds over Germany’s Lena Duerr, with Albania’s Lara Colturi in third by 1.85 seconds.
- The victory extends Shiffrin’s slalom streak to three wins to open the season and confirms her place on the U.S. team for the Milano–Cortina Olympics.
- Event organizers reported a crowd of roughly 11,000 as Shiffrin managed a long, high-elevation course she described as tiring yet energizing thanks to the home support.
- A day earlier, New Zealand’s Alice Robinson won the giant slalom in 1:58.91, beating Austria’s Julia Scheib by 0.96 seconds, while Shiffrin finished 14th after struggling with variable snow.
- Shiffrin leads both the slalom and overall standings as the women’s World Cup leaves Copper Mountain for a pair of giant slaloms in Mont-Tremblant.
