The women's downhill in the 2025 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of eight events, including the final. After the elimination of the two downhills scheduled in November on the "Gran Becca" course on the Matterhorn from the 2025 schedule, the first race of the season in this discipline is now scheduled to take place on 14 December in Beaver Creek, Colorado, USA.
The season will be interrupted for the Alpine Skiing World Championships, this time in Saalbach, Austria during 4–16 February 2025. The championship in women's downhill is scheduled for Saturday, 8 February.
Season summary
The first downhill of the 2025 season was held on the very steep Birds of Prey course at Beaver Creek, Colorado (USA), the first time the women World Cup racers had ever held a competitive event on the course (although the men have been running the course for decades), and defending discipline champion Cornelia Hütter of Austria (who commented, "”I've never skied that steep before.") edged past both Sofia Goggia of Italy, the four-time discipline champion in her first race back from a season-ending injury in February, and defending overall champion Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland.
Finals
The World Cup finals in the discipline are scheduled to take place on Saturday, 22 March 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho, USA. Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup slalom discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship in the discipline, plus any skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, are eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 earn World Cup points.
