Olympic Alpine Slopes Filled with Tales From Tiger's Lost Tooth to Bode's 1-Ski Show
The 2026 Winter Games return to Cortina and Bormio, where Lindsey Vonn set a World Cup wins record and Bode Miller performed a famed one-ski descent.
- Recently, the Olympics assigned women's races to the Olympia delle Tofane course in Cortina d'Ampezzo and men's races to the Stelvio in Bormio, reviving historic World Cup venues.
- The Cortina course features a rhythmic track where racers can reach around 80 mph, and retired American alpine standout Ted Ligety called the venues a 'classic Alpine space.'
- Notable moments at these tracks include Bode Miller's one-ski descent and Lindsey Vonn, now 5, returning to compete again in Cortina for her fifth Olympics.
- Safety concerns rise as the Stelvio's recent crashes and high difficulty loom over the men's races, with Cyprien Sarrazin among recent crash victims and Federica Brignone returning from injury seeking home redemption.
- After three Games at new downhill sites, the Olympics' return to these classic tracks signals a shift back to tradition, with last season's back-to-back wins by Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone underscoring local competitiveness.
