Mikaela Shiffrin shares a massive update as she gears up for the upcoming Alpine Skiing season

The 2025 FIS alpine skiing season begins soon, and Mikaela Shiffrin has shared a major update with fans as the first race of the year approaches. The American will be the one to beat throughout the season as she looks to claim her sixth overall Crystal Globe.

Shiffrin faced a fair share of ups and downs in the 2024 season as a high-speed crash in January at Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, put her out of action for a few weeks. However, she returned to the slopes in Are, Switzerland and was triumphant on her return, winning the women's slalom with a margin of 1.24s. This win also gave the 29-year-old her 96th World Cup victory and her eighth World Cup slalom title.

Now, Mikaela Shiffrin is readying herself for yet another record-breaking season. With Soelden, the first race of the year, less than a month away, the American revealed to fans that she's heading to Europe for the final leg of her training. Taking to Instagram, she shared snaps of herself on the slopes with the caption,

“About that time. Off to Europe.”

Throughout the off-season, Shiffrin has given fans regular updates about her training. In August, the skier shared that she was at an indoor camp in Wittenburg, Germany before heading to Paris to cheer for Team USA at the Olympic Games.

Since coming back, Shiffrin has trained in Chile. Sharing an insight into her preparation, she detailed on Instagram,

“Three weeks full of intense prep at high elevation is fun, but it's also pretty exhausting. Here's a little glimpse of a day in the life at a ski camp in Chile...excited to dive in again! The season is almost here and the anticipation is growing.”
