2025 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's slalom

The men's slalom in the 2025 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of twelve events, including the discipline final. The discipline is scheduled to open the season in Levi, Finland, the first time that the men have raced there since before the pandemic (November 2019). Interestingly, with the return from retirement of Marcel Hirscher and Lucas Braathen, all of the discipline champions for the past 12 years are competing: Hirscher (6 discipline titles: 2013-15, 2017–19), Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway (3 titles: 2016, 2020, 2022), Marco Schwarz of Austria (1 title, 2021, but who did not return from an injury suffered in September until mid-December), Braathen (1 title, 2023), and defending champion Manuel Feller of Austria (1 title, 2024).

The season will be interrupted for the Alpine Skiing World Championships, this time in Saalbach, Austria during 4–16 February 2025.^[1] The championship in men's slalom is scheduled as the last skiing event, on Sunday, 16 February.

In the opener at Levi, 2022 Olympic slalom gold medalist Clément Noël of France defeated all of the former champions for only his second victory on the World Cup circuit since the Olympics, chased most closely by Kristofferson, who posted the fastest second run.^[2] Noël then followed up that victory one week later at Gurgl, Austria, when he took a commanding lead after the first run and maintained the edge for his second straight win, with Kristoffersen the best placed of the former champions in sixth.^[3] Noël missed the next race due to injury, however, and after an almost two-year victory drought, Kristoffersen won the next slalom in Val d'Isére (France) to take over the lead in the discipline.^[4] The next race was the last of four straight races (one in each discipline) in northern Italy prior to Christmas, and Norway's Timon Haugan won in dominating fashion, with his teammate Kristoffersen (fourth) retaining the discipline lead.^[5]

In the first slalom in 2025, a night slalom held in Italy, Albert Popov of Bulgaria posted the top time in the second run and rose from eighth after the first run to record Bulgaria's second-ever World Cup victory (the first was also a slalom, exactly 45 years earlier (8 January 1980) by Petar Popangelov); meanwhile, Loïc Meillard of Switzerland was runner-up for the second consecutive slalom and edged Kristoffersen for the season lead.^[6]

The World Cup finals in the discipline are scheduled to take place on Thursday, 27 March 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho, United States.^[7] 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.
