The 2026-2027 Alpine Ski World Cup season is just around the corner. After months of waiting, the skiing circus will be back in 100 days. Sölden (Tirol, Austria) will again host the first Races of the season. As every year, the Women's Giant Slalom opens the new World Cup.

Nine World Cup wins this season, two discipline Crystal Globes (Downhill and Super-G), and another Overall World Cup title. Marco Odermatt (Switzerland) has once again demonstrated he is the most consistent and therefore the best ski racer of our era for the fifth consecutive time.

Since its inception in 1967, Giant Slalom has been an integral part of the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup. At the end of October, the 2025-2026 winter season kicks off with the traditional Women's and Men's Giant Slalom races on the Rettenbach Glacier in Soelden.

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the Giant Slalom Olympic Champion, won the Giant Slalom Alpine Ski World Cup Crystal Globe during the 2025-2026 winter season.

Super-G, along with Downhill, is considered a "speed" event, unlike the technical events such as Giant Slalom and Slalom. It debuted as an official Alpine Ski World Cup event in 1983 and was included in the official schedules of the 1987 World Championships in Crans-Montana and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

This season, Marco Odermatt clinched his fourth consecutive Super-G Crystal Globe. Aksel Lund Svindal and Hermann Maier share the Men's record with five Super-G titles, while Pirmin Zurbriggen won four.

Marco Odermatt claimed his third consecutive Downhill Crystal Globe. The last Swiss skier to win the Downhill Crystal Globe before Odermatt was Beat Feuz, who won four between 2017-2018 and 2020-2021. During this season, the 28-year-old Swiss ski champion secured a podium finish in the Downhill eight times out of nine races, achieving four victories in Beaver Creek, Val Gardena, Wengen, and Garmisch Partenkirchen.
