The first women’s FIS Alpine World Cup race at Tremblant, Quebec, in 40 years is officially a go. Following today’s “snow control,” the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (‘FIS’) has given the green light for the AUDI FIS Ski World Cup Women’s Giant Slalom races at Tremblant December 2 and 3, 2023. Snow control is a course quality test, which is undertaken by FIS race officials, and determines whether or not the course will be race ready. It is typically conducted two weeks prior to the event.
“I am very proud of the Tremblant team and the volunteers who have worked tirelessly to prepare the course for the 2023 AUDI FIS Ski World Cup.In addition to over 7,000 tickets sold we have had a tremendous response from the community in terms of fans and volunteers and we are excited to welcome the world to Tremblant.”

“This is an important milestone in bringing a World Cup race to Tremblant for the first time in 40 years. It has been wonderful working with the local organizing committee and the team at Tremblant. We all share common goals of delivering a race event that excites Canadians, one that grows the sport and fans, delivers an amazing experience for athletes and fans, is commercially and environmentally sustainable, and provides a strong legacy for the sport and community.”
