Leading the group of top female skiers in the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup is Mikaela Shiffrin, a record-holder with more than 100 victories. Federica Brignone and Lara Gut-Behrami, who were the overall champions in the 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 seasons, respectively, along with Lindsey Vonn, round out the group of active skiers in this elite selection.


In a breathtaking display of talent and determination, Mikaela Shiffrin (Vail, Colorado, March 13, 1995), the winningest alpine skier of all time, reached an incredible milestone last season, claiming 101 wins in 281 races at the Alpine World Ski Cup. Shiffrin claimed her 101 World Cup win in Sun Valley on 27 March 2025.



Mikaela Shiffrin is an all-rounder who has won races in all disciplines. In December 2018, in Lake Louise, 23-year-old Shiffrin became the first skier ever to win in all six FIS World Cup disciplines: Slalom, Parallel Slalom, Combined, Giant Slalom, Super-G, and Downhill.

The 29-year-old US skier has a record of 64 Slalom, 22 Giant Slalom, 5 Super-G, 4 Downhill, 3 City Events, 2 Parallel Slalom, and 1 Alpine Combined.

She finished on the podium 157 times in 281 Alpine Ski World Cup starts. No male or female skier has claimed more podiums in the World Cup than Mikaela Shiffrin.


Mikaela Shiffrin has won the Overall Crystal Globe five times: 2016-2017, 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023. Only Marcel Hirscher (8), Annemarie Moser-Pröll (6), and Marc Girardelli (5) won the Overall World Cup at least five times. She goes past Lindsey Vonn as the American with the most Big Globes to her name.


Shiffrin has won 16 Crystal Globes (5 Overall, 8 in Slalom, 2 in Giant Slalom, and 1 in Super-G).


Annemarie Moser-Proell (Kleinarl, Salzburg, March 27, 1953) is a former World Cup Alpine ski racer from Austria and the most successful female alpine ski racer during the 1970s, with an all-time women's record of six overall titles, including five consecutively  (1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, and 1979). She won 62 World Cup events, ranking her third behind Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn on the Women's victory record.


Lindsey Vonn (St. Paul, Minnesota, October 18, 1984) is one of the world's most successful ski racers. Vonn has 82 Alpine Ski World Cup victories, 138 World Cup podiums, and 20 World Cup titles, including four Overall World Cup Crystal Globes (2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012), eight Downhill Crystal Globes (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2016), five Super-G (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2015), and three Alpine Combined Crystal Globes (2010, 2011, and 2012).

Lindsey Vonn is one of six women to have won Alpine Ski World Cup races in all five disciplines of Alpine Skiing: Downhill, Super-G, Giant Slalom, Slalom, and Super Combined.


After nearly six years of retirement, Vonn returned to the Alpine Ski World Cup stage on December 21, 2024, finishing 14th in the Super-G in St Moritz.

Lindsey Vonn achieved in the final Super-G of the 2024-2025 season in Sun Valley her first podium in 2656 days, over seven years, since she finished third in a Super-G in Are in March 15, 2018. With her second place, she became the oldest podium finisher in the Alpine Ski World Cup.
