The event will mark the return of World Cup ski racing to Squaw Valley for the first time in nearly 50 years and adds to a total of 16 World Cup events scheduled to take place in the U.S. for the 2016-17 race season, the second highest ever.
On June 9, the International Ski Federation (FIS) and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) announced that women’s giant slalom and slalom races would take on the Red Dog Race Venue. This is the first time world cup racing has returned to California in 19 years.
The 2017 Audi FIS Ski World Cup will bring Olympic champions like Squaw Valley’s own Julia Mancuso or reigning Olympic slalom champion Mikaela Shiffrin to compete in slalom and giant slalom on the legendary Red Dog run, which played host to the 1969 World Cup and 1960 Winter Olympics.
Ticket supplies are limited and are expected to sell out rapidly. Tickets range from $1,400 to $450 for VIP access, with Grandstand seating available for $30 per day near the race finish. Free standing room viewing will be available near the race finish, as well as skier spectator viewing on looker’s left of Red Dog Face. Live stream viewing will also be available in The Village at Squaw Valley at KT Base Bar Sun Deck.
Limited free parking will be available, with guests encouraged to use Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows shuttles, Tahoe Area Regional Transit buses and POW Parking: free premier parking for vehicles with four or more passengers. Preferred structured parking is also available with the purchase of a 2016-17 Seasonal Parking Pass.
