COURCHEVEL: TAKING SKIING TO NEW HEIGHTS 9th EDITION OF THE AUDI FIS LADIES ALPINE SKI WORLD CUP – 21ST & 22ND DECEMBER 2018 An unmissable stage of the Ladies’ circuit, Courchevel is thrilled to welcome the “crème de la crème” of the discipline for two events: giant slalom on Friday 21st December and slalom on Saturday 22nd December. On the 21st of December, Courchevel will host the giant slalom event for the 7th time. Both spectacular and technical, over the seasons it has become a classic on the Ladies circuit. Many champions take part, all keen to become the next Mikaela Shiffrin (USA), who won last year’s competition ahead of Tessa Worley (France)and Manuela Moelgg (Italy). The following day, the slalom will be making its comeback on the Émile-Allais stadium. In 2010, 2011 and 2013, Courchevel crowds came out in force at the stadium, supporting the competitors and watching Austrian Marlies Schild race to World Cup victory. PRESS CONTACTS -
