The Audi FIS Ski World Cup Women Kranjska Gora 2025

The Audi FIS Ski World Cup Women Kranjska Gora 2025 will mark a new chapter in the history of women's alpine skiing in Slovenia. The Golden Fox, which has been one of the most important competitions in the Women's World Cup since 1964, began as a symbol of success and top-notch organization in Maribor. Despite the long-standing hope of favorable snow conditions in Maribor, climate change and unpredictable winter weather have often moved the event to Kranjska Gora, where conditions for preparing the course are much more suitable.

In the past, the Golden Fox races always attracted crowds of fans from all over Slovenia and neighboring countries, who eagerly followed the performances of the world's best alpine skiers. Despite the relocations, the event has retained its prestigious name, but it became clear over time that snow conditions in Maribor were becoming less suitable for hosting such a demanding competition. The last races held in Maribor took place in the 2018/19 season.

The relocation of the Women's World Cup races from Maribor to Kranjska Gora signifies not just a change of venue, but also a symbolic transition into a new era of women's alpine skiing in Slovenia. With the newly renamed Audi FIS SKI World Cup Women Kranjska Gora 2025, the Slovenian venue will firmly establish itself in the World Cup calendar. Organizers are confident that the new location, with its infrastructure, tradition, and conditions, will contribute to an even better experience for athletes, support staff, organizers, and spectators.

Kranjska Gora, with it's rich history of hosting world skiing competitions, has all the conditions to become a permanent fixture on the global skiing map. In addition to hosting the men's World Cup races for many years in this idyllic alpine setting, the women's tour will now find its home there as well. The Slovenian Ski Association has worked tirelessly to ensure that Slovenes will continue to have the opportunity to support their best skiers on home soil.

In the coming years, the Audi FIS Ski World Cup Kranjska Gora 2025** will continue to strengthen Slovenia's reputation as a destination for top-tier winter sports while boosting tourism and the local economy. Many international visitors who come to Kranjska Gora each year will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful nature of the **Julian Alps** and excellent ski infrastructure, further enhancing the destination's reputation.

Moreover, the new name and venue of the event may also contribute to the increased visibility of Slovenian skiers, who will have the chance to compete in front of home fans in conditions more familiar and suited to them. For Slovenian athletes like **Ana Bucik Jogan, Andreja Slokar, Neja Dvornik**, and other rising stars, this will be a special opportunity to showcase their excellence on home turf, possibly inspiring even more young athletes to take up alpine skiing.

The Audi FIS Ski World Cup Women Kranjska Gora 2025 will be more than just a sporting event—it will be a celebration of skiing, tradition, and Slovenian hospitality. The competition will also be an opportunity for Slovenian ski enthusiasts to connect with history, enjoy current successes, and look optimistically to the future of Slovenian alpine skiing.

The races, scheduled for January 4 and 5, 2025, will feature the world's best alpine skiers competing in giant slalom and slalom, with fierce battles for valuable World Cup points on the famous Podkoren slope in Kranjska Gora. The event is sure to capture global attention, as not only will it showcase intense competition, but it will also highlight Slovenia’s transition into a new era of hosting prestigious women’s alpine events.
