Additionally, she also said that this season has seen a lot of ups and downs and remarked that she has a lot more to give to the skiing world in her career. She said (via NBC Sports):

"(Win No. 100 on Feb. 23) was like this reset moment, and 101 is like a restart almost. That’s the way I’m trying to see it. There’s plenty of future left in my career, hopefully. This (season) has been quite a roller coaster. There’s been some really thrilling moments and some moments where I question if I should even be in the sport."

In the slalom World Cup standings for the 2024-25 season, Mikaela Shiffrin finished fourth behind Zrinka Ljutic, Katharina Liensberger and Camille Rast, respectively.
