Superstar (ski Course)
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.
As a race course, Superstar is comparable to most classic European venues. With the course consisting of the Upper Headwall, Launch Pad, Upper Field, Lower Field, High Road, Upper Preston's Pitch, and Lower Preston's Pitch sections.
