Perspective
The provisional race calendar was published on 9 May 2024.[5] As a result, the downhill race in Zermatt-Cervinia, which was criticized in previous seasons, was removed from the calendar.[6] The final race calendar was published on 25 September.
This season marked the return of two renowned skiers to the men's World Cup tour, both of whom had previously announced their retirements. Austria's eight-time overall World Cup champion, Marcel Hirscher, made a comeback, now representing the Netherlands.[7] Additionally, the 2022–23 World Cup slalom champion, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, also made a comeback after switching his nationality from Norway to Brazil.[8]
For the first time since the Super-G in Val Gardena in 2015, and for the first time ever in a Giant Slalom, three Norwegian athletes claimed all three spots on the podium. This happened again at the Slalom in Wengen.[9]
Lara Colturi, representing Albania (SL in Gurgl), and Pinheiro Braathen, representing Brazil (GS in Beaver Creek), made history by securing their countries' first-ever World Cup podium finishes.
Tormis Laine representing Estonia (SL in Levi) scored the first World Cup points for his country.
At 35 years, 1 month, and 3 days old, Thomas Tumler set a new record as the oldest skier to win his first race in the giant slalom.
During the downhill race in St. Anton, Federica Brignone claimed victory, becoming the oldest alpine skier in World Cup history to win a downhill event. Meanwhile, Malorie Blanc secured second place in only her second World Cup appearance and her first World Cup downhill race.
On 23 February 2025, American skier Mikaela Shiffrin achieved her 100th World Cup victory by winning the slalom event in Sestriere, Italy. This milestone made her the first skier, male or female, to reach a triple-digit win count in World Cup history. Shiffrin's achievement came just months after a crash in November 2024 during a giant slalom race in Killington, where she sustained an abdominal puncture wound.[10]
By securing 2nd place in the Super-G in Sun Valley on 23 March 2025, and 2565 days after her last podium finish, 40-year-old Lindsey Vonn became the oldest female athlete in World Cup history to stand on the podium.
