"MONT TREMBLANT, QC (October 18, 2022) – Alpine Canada Alpin and Station Mont Tremblant are pleased to announce that they have agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to work collaboratively towards hosting an annual FIS Women’s Alpine World Cup (WC) event at Tremblant starting Dec 2-3, 2023. Alpine Canada is the FIS Alpine WC rights holder in Canada while Tremblant is the host venue.

FIS, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation, has committed to placing two Giant Slalom races at Tremblant on the Women’s Alpine World Cup long-term calendar for the next three years starting in Dec 2023. This support is conditional upon making improvements to the proposed racecourse to bring it up to world cup standards and to conducting a successful test event. Alpine Canada and Station Mont Tremblant are working collaboratively with the FIS on the plans for the Women’s World Cup event at Tremblant.

Not necessarily if this statement is correct:
"The planned dates are a logical fit in the World Cup calendar coming off Killington the weekend before.”
Gotta have snow though and Tremblant is quite a ways farther north.

Ah, I don't following racing at all. Happened to see a note on the Tremblant homepage when looking for something else.

Tremblant is in the process of finalizing the WC requirements now on THE FLYING MILE trail a double black up top . It will be ready this yr and will host womens WC GS and S in 23 but Tremblant doesnt have the terrain to host speed events like the DH .


It is a great venue , been a fav for decades but is often colder than a well digger's ass

I'm not sure how the Tremblant event affects whether Killington's event returns or not. I just believe it's the last year on Killington's contract, and it's not set in stone whether they will try to get another one. I remember last year when they brought it back after the 2020 hiatus, they also mentioned that the World Cup would return in 2022. There hasn't been any such mention of that this year.
 
Looks like Killington’s blowing the pissoutofit on Superstar this frosty morning.

Even if it gets a little wet with rain Friday & Saturday the FIS races should go on.

I suspect they will try to get this event back again even though this is the last year of their deal.
 
I think they will evaluate after that weekend and decide whether they want to go for another 3 years. I'm not sure how the contracts work to hold World Cup events, but I think it's entirely possible that Killington is trying to float the idea of backing out to get the FIS to sweeten the deal. If what we are being told is true and they lose money on the event, then they're really getting the short end of the stick. The FIS makes tons of money on it from TV coverage. It's clear that the FIS wants to have more events in the east. That's why they gave one to Tremblant.
