# 2025 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's slalom

The women's slalom in the 2025 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of ten events, including the final. The slalom season began with the traditional "reindeer" opening race in Levi, Finland on 16 November 2024. Two-time discipline champion Petra Vlhová of Slovakia is expected to miss the entire season with an injury suffered in January 2024, leaving eight-time discipline champion and two-time defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States without her main rival.
The season was interrupted for the Alpine Skiing World Championships, this time in Saalbach, Austria during 4–16 February 2025. The championship in women's slalom took place on Saturday, 15 February, and was won by the season's discipline leader at the time, Camille Rast of Switzerland, with her countrywoman Wendy Holdener placing second.

## Season summary

Picking up where she left off, defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States won the season-opening slalom in Levi, Finland (and the baby reindeer that comes with the victory) for the eighth time in her career, giving her an all-time record 98 total victories in World Cup skiing. Shiffrin then won another slalom, her 99th World Cup victory, the very next week in Gurgl, Austria ahead of rising star (and first-time World Cup podium occupant) Lara Colturi of Albania, who just turned 18 the prior week and is the daughter of 2002 Olympic super-G gold medalist Daniela Ceccarelli, and 25-year-old Swiss skier (and fellow first-time podium occupant) Camille Rast of Switzerland. However, Shiffrin was injured during a giant slalom run at Killington and had to miss the slalom there the next day. The injury was eventually diagnosed as an abdominal puncture wound (which could not be stitched up due to the possibility of infection) combined with "severe muscle trauma", and she was anticipated to miss at least the next two weeks. However, Shiffrin then had to undergo abdominal surgery to clean out the wound and old scar tissue, perhaps delaying her return to competition until the World Championships in February.
In the first race without Shiffrin, Rast, who had posted her second-straight World Cup podium the day before, rallied from third on the second leg to post her first World Cup victory and take the lead in both the discipline and overall for the season. Surprisingly, the next two slaloms were both won by another rising star (and previous non-winner), 20-year-old Zrinka Ljutić of Croatia, one just before New Year's Day and one just after (in which she edged veteran star Wendy Holdener of Switzerland on the second run), propelling her into the season lead in the discipline by just four points over Rast. In the next slalom at Flachau (Austria), Ljutic failed to qualify for the second run, and Rast charged from eighth after the first run to edge out Holdener for the win and to take over both the lead in the discipline and the overall lead for the World Cup season.
At long last, Shiffrin announced her upcoming return at the slalom in Courcheval, France on 30 January, a full nine weeks after her injury and less than a week before the start of the world championships. At Courcheval, Ljutić posted her third slalom victory of the season, making her the first woman other than Schiffrin or Vhlová to win three slaloms in one season since Marlies Schild of Austria in 2012, while Shiffrin finished tenth in her return. In the World Championships, Rast posted the best time in the first run and Holdener posted the best time in the second run for a 1-2 Swiss finish, with the home country's Katharina Liensberger nipping Americans Paula Moltzan and Shiffrin to claim the bronze. After another week to build strength, though, Shiffrin turned a slight lead over Ljutić after the first run into a wide victory on the second run, giving her a third victory for the season -- and an all-time record 100 World Cup victories in Alpine skiing overall (and tying the all-time record of 155 podium finishes that had been held by Ingemar Stenmark, whom she had previously passed for most victories), while Ljutić edged past Rast for the season lead with only two races remaining in the discipline. At Åre, 29-year-old Katharina Truppe of Austria recorded her first World Cup victory in come-from-behind fashion, while first-run leader Shiffrin held on for third and thus broke the all-time World Cup podium record.

## Finals

The World Cup finals in the discipline are scheduled to take place on Thursday, 27 March 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho, United States. Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup slalom discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship in the discipline (Cornelia Öhlund of Sweden), plus any skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, are eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 earn World Cup points. Coming into the finals, Ljutić held a 41-point lead over Rast, a 51-point lead over Liensberger, and a 96-point lead over Holdener; the four of them were the only four still in contention for the discipline title.
