bringing elite international ski racing back to the resort for the first time since 1977 when it hosted men\u2019s and women\u2019s tech events.<\/strong> The 2025 World Cup Finals at Sun Valley were widely praised by organizers and participants, helping pave the way for the 2027 return. \u201cSun Valley hosted a world class event in 2025 with the inaugural Stifel Sun Valley Finals and we couldn\u2019t be more excited to return,\u201d Sophie Goldschmidt, president and CEO of U.S. Ski &amp; Snowboard, said in the announcement. FIS Alpine Men\u2019s Chief Race Director Markus Waldner also praised the resort\u2019s debut, pointing to the racing, atmosphere, and local team\u2019s organization as reasons for returning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Finals are an invitation-only event, with qualification limited to the top 25 highest-ranked athletes per discipline in addition to the Junior World Championship winner and those with more than 500 FIS points from the season. <\/strong>The races often serve to determine the winners of the overall and individual discipline Crystal Globes, making them the culmination of the 2026-27 World Cup season.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_431048\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-431048\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
