Mikaela Shiffrin headlines the Stifel Copper Cup, an Alpine skiing World Cup in Copper Mountain, Colorado, with coverage on NBC Sports and Peacock on Thanksgiving weekend.
Shiffrin, winner of the first two World Cup slaloms this season, will contest Saturday's giant slalom and Sunday's slalom in her first races in her home state since 2017.

Shiffrin won 10 of her last 12 World Cup slalom starts dating to January 2024, missing five slaloms in that span due to injuries.
Her two slalom wins this season were each by dominating margins of more than one second over 19-year-old Lara Colturi of Albania.

Fellow American Paula Moltzan was runner-up in the Oct. 25 GS in Soelden, Austria. She steadily climbed in GS over the last year, posting her first World Cup top five (November 2024) and podium (January 2025), plus earning a bronze medal at last February's World Championships.
Swiss Marco Odermatt is the favorite in both Copper men's races, having won the last three World Cup super-G season titles and the last four World Cup giant slalom season titles.
Norway's Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, an Olympic and world championships medalist in the super-G, said on Monday that he may make the Copper super-G his comeback race.

Kilde, who is Shiffrin’s fiancé, said he may wait until Wednesday night to decide whether his first event back will be Thursday’s super-G in Copper or next week's World Cup in Beaver Creek.
