The International Ski Federation announced Friday a positive snow control for the men’s Birds of Prey World Cup races in Beaver Creek.
The announcement means the course is in racing condition and will be ready to host the men’s downhill, super-G, and giant slalom racers Dec. 6-8. The official snow control date for the women’s races — scheduled for Dec. 14-15 — is Saturday, Nov. 30.
“Thanks to the incredible work of the Beaver Creek Mountain Operations Team, Race Department, and Mother Nature delivering more than three feet of natural snow since Nov. 1, we are excited to say that the Birds of Prey course is ready to host the fastest alpine ski racers in the world,” said Birds of Prey Event Director Sarah Franke of the nonprofit Vail Valley Foundation, which hosts the event each year.
“We’re thrilled to host not just one, but two action-packed weekends of World Cup ski racing at Beaver Creek this year,” said Beaver Creek Resort Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Bobby Murphy. “Our team has worked tirelessly to prepare this legendary course. We can’t wait to welcome athletes, fans, and families from around the world to experience the excitement of Birds of Prey at Beaver Creek.”
“We are thrilled that the Birds of Prey course has officially passed the snow control check from FIS,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, president and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “We anticipate a positive snow control from the FIS for the women’s event on Nov. 30, and we are excited to cheer on our Stifel U.S. Ski Team during historic back-to-back World Cup weekends in Beaver Creek.”
Beaver Creek Resort plans to open for the season on Wednesday, Nov. 27, with skiing and snowboarding accessible from Beaver Creek Village via Centennial Express.
All times are in Mountain Standard Time and subject to change. Festivities will surround the event, including films, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete signings, the annual Beers of Prey beer tasting, VIP opportunities, and more.
