High-Speed Action Awaits: Women’s Downhill Kicks Off in Val d’Isère Today!
Val d’Isère, France – The iconic Oreiller-Killy (OK) piste is ready for thrilling speed as the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup women’s downhill race gets underway today, Saturday, December 20, 2025, at 10:30 CET.
Snowy conditions and the legendary French Alps set the stage for an electrifying day of alpine skiing. All eyes are on comeback star Lindsey Vonn, who arrives as the current downhill standings leader after strong podium finishes earlier this season. The 41-year-old American legend is chasing glory on a course where downhill winners traditionally receive a prized cow – and Vonn has joked about adding to her long-lost herd.
The demanding OK slope returns to the women’s calendar after a one-year absence, promising full-commitment runs from the world’s top speed specialists. Expect fierce competition as athletes build momentum in this Olympic season leading to Milano Cortina 2026.
Fans can catch the action live, with a festive atmosphere in La Daille including concerts, tastings, and more. The weekend continues tomorrow with the women’s Super-G.
