Mikaela Shiffrin, GOAT on the Snow and Off, and the Killington Cup Returns in 2026
The 2026 Stifel Killington Cup Schedule
The Stifel Killington Cup comes back to Vermont November 27 through 29, 2026. Friday starts with the athlete bib draw. Saturday is the giant slalom. Sunday closes the weekend with slalom. Both races run on Superstar, the trail that made Killington famous for World Cup skiing. Killington expects about 40,000 fans on the mountain across the three days. Tickets went on sale September 4, so seating options are already moving. This is the first Audi FIS Ski World Cup race held on American soil for the 2026-27 season. It also marks the Cup’s return to Killington after the 2025 race moved to Copper Mountain for chairlift construction.
Book Strippers for Race Weekend
I book two dancers for most bachelor party groups during Killington Cup weekend. Book a group of twelve or more, and I bring three dancers instead of two. There’s no deposit and no contract. You pay when the show happens. I take same-day bookings and any-day bookings, race weekend included. Call 802-342-4295 or text 802-342-5925 to lock in your date before the crowds show up for the Cup.
Mikaela Shiffrin continues to show why she’s the greatest ski racer of all time, not just for her results, but for the way she treats the people who support her. After earning her 104th World Cup victory at Copper Mountain, she stayed outside in the cold for more than an hour to meet with roughly 1,000 fans, making sure she spoke with every single person. No cameras, no rush, no shortcuts, just genuine appreciation. That’s the kind of moment that defines a true champion.
New England ski fans know that energy well. For years, Shiffrin has electrified Thanksgiving Weekend at Killington Resort, drawing massive crowds to the Beast for the annual Killington Cup. The atmosphere is unmatched, cowbells, families, ski clubs, and tens of thousands of fans lining Superstar to cheer on the world’s best.
Though the event shifts to Copper Mountain for 2025 due to the replacement of the Superstar chairlift, it’s already confirmed to return to Killington in 2026. The Beast will be back on the World Cup calendar, and fans will be louder than ever.
Until then, the early-season stoke is building across New England as Snovember kicks off winter adventures, from opening-weekend laps to bachelor and bachelorette ski trips.
VIP Entertainment Inc. keeps the celebration going long after you leave the mountain. If your group is planning a winter party in Vermont, New Hampshire, or the NY border towns, we bring the entertainment that makes the night unforgettable.
