Re: 2017 Women's World Cup
Any idea on when the tickets go on sale? Last year it was right around now.
Re: 2017 Women's World Cup
I just called central reservations . They said that they would be announcing World Cup tickets soon. I swear I had bought them by this time last year. They sell out fast so don't tell anyone when they do. Shhhh!andrec10 wrote:Any idea on when the tickets go on sale? Last year it was right around now.

If you consider the crowds, news coverage and competitor comments lame, I think the resort and FIS will settle for lame every time.Highway Star wrote:Sounds like it won't be quite as lame as last year, but still plenty lame.Bubba wrote:Killington prepares for World Cup skiing

It’s gonna be a party. And a big one.
Killington Resort released its lineup on October 11 of top bands, movie premieres and schedules for the 2017 Audi FIS World Cup women’s slalom and giant slalom events, to be held over Nov. 24-26. New this year will be a bib presentation with the athletes on Friday and a 10 am start both days to allow spectators to get situated.
“Combining top-notch entertainment with one of the world’s most premier ski racing events makes for an amazing, party-like weekend at Killington for families and fans of all ages,” said Mike Solimano, President and General Manager of Killington Resort. “We are thrilled Dispatch will headline our full weekend of World Cup Race festivities and hope the public comes out to enjoy the concerts, movie premiers, opening parades, fireworks, our unique dining experiences and autograph signings, in addition to the women’s giant slalom and slalom races.”
Dispatch, who formed while attending Vermont’s Middlebury college will headline the event with a free concert on Saturday, Nov. 25. New this year and, in addition to an already action-packed, fun-filled weekend, Killington Resort and the Audi will host a free concert on Friday, Nov. 24 featuring Troy Ramey, originally from Woodstock, VT, and best known for soaring through season 12 of the hit singing competition “The Voice.”
Middlebury College grads Brad Corrigan (’96), Pete (Heimbold) Francis (’99) and Chad Urmstom (’98) of the band Dispatch will return to Vermont to play at the World Cup.
Killington’s Snowshed Base Lodge will host two separate movie premiers throughout the weekend, including new releases from Teton Gravity Research and Warren Miller Entertainment showcasing extreme snow sports and thrilling cinematography, with proceeds from Friday and Saturday’s showings benefiting the Pico Ski Club and Killington Ski Club respectively.
The World Cup Expo Village, located at the K-1 Base Area, will feature over 40 unique sponsors, ranging from artisan Vermont craft and food vendors to the latest ski industry hardware and technology companies. Opening parades on both Saturday and Sunday will feature youth racers marching with their ski clubs carrying participating nations’ flags’ culminating in the finish area to kick off the competition each day. Killington expects more than 1,000 youth racers both days with Vermont ski clubs featured on Saturday and ski clubs from all over the Northeast joining Sunday.
