American alpine ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin will next race at the Killington Ski Resort, Vermont. This event is scheduled to be held between November 30 and December 1 and will be Shiffrin's fifth World Cup appearance in the 2024-25 season after Soelden, Levi, and Gurgl.

The Giant Slalom event will be held on Saturday (Nov 30) and the first race will start at 10 AM ET followed by the second race at 1 PM ET. The Slalom events will be held the next day on Sunday where the first race will take the course at 10 AM ET and the second race will be held at 1 PM ET. Fans can experience the live streaming of these races on Outside TV and NBC.

The Killington event will be Shiffrin's first attempt to clinch her 100th World Cup win. Her 99th win came on Saturday (Nov 23) in Gurgl, Austria where she registered the 62nd Slalom win of her career after clocking a time of 1:40.22 during the race.

The event will be a homecoming for Shiffrin, who previously attended the Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont. Following her race in Killington, Shiffrin is scheduled to race in Tremblant between Dec 7-8 and in Beaver Creek between Dec 14-15.

Mikaela Shiffrin opened up about her thought process of competing in front of a home crowd in Killington, Vermont next weekend.

In an interview after her 99th World Cup victory, Shiffrin stated that she is looking to ignore the outside pressure of clinching her 100th World Cup win in Vermont. She also mentioned that even if her victory doesn't come next weekend, it won't have a great effect on her long-term planning. She said (via ESPN):

"I guess there is a bit of pressure around it, but I'll try to ignore that. Anyway, if it happens, it's wonderful. If it doesn't happen, kind of nothing to cry about in the grand scheme. But I hope to have a really good performance in front of the home crowd."

The 29-year-old has six World Cup race victories in Killington, Vermont. However, Shiffrin hasn't registered any Giant Slalom victory there across her decorated career.
