# Superstar (ski course)

Superstar is a World Cup ski piste in the northeast United States at Killington, Vermont.
Located on Skye Peak mountain of the Killington Ski Resort, the course is open to the public as a black diamond trail. It has hosted eleven women's World Cup events (45th of all-time), the sixth most in the U.S. The race course debuted in November 2016, succeeding Aspen, Colorado, as the early season U.S. host for women's technical events (slalom and giant slalom).
Giant slalom course has maximum incline at 62%, average incline at 39% and minimum incline at 24%.
Slalom course has maximum incline at 58%, average incline at 41% and minimum incline at 19%.

## World Cup

The course has hosted the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup since 2016, replacing Aspen, Colorado, as the early season U.S. venue for women's slalom and giant slalom events. This was the first World Cup event in the northeast since 1991 at Waterville Valley, New Hampshire; and the first in Vermont since 1978 at Stratton Mountain. Unlike the lightly attended World Cup events in the North American West, Killington is a very popular stop, with over 30,000 people attending. Since the course's debut, American Mikaela Shiffrin came in first for five slalom events.
