🎿 Return of the Ski World Cup

The 2024-2025 Alpine Ski World Cup is back, and this year is no ordinary season—it's an Olympic season, leading straight to Milan-Cortina 2026. For Genezys, it's also a chance to reconnect with three familiar faces from French skiing: Clément Noël, Victor Muffat-Jeandet, and Léo Anguenot.

🏔️ Sölden kicks off the season

As every year, Sölden, on the Rettenbach glacier, sets the tone. On October 25 and 26, the world's best giant slalom skiers will take to the legendary slope, which has been approved without issue after snow checks. The season can begin. But not all of the French team will be at the start. Clément Noël has decided to skip the opening race to focus on slalom, his specialty. "I'll be in Sölden as a spectator because I have a few things to do there, but otherwise I'm going to concentrate on slalom for now. " See you in Levi on November 16 to watch the Olympic champion put his skis back in the gates.

Three Genezys faces on the circuit

🎯 Clément Noël – totally focused on slalom

No distractions this year: Clément arrives with a clear goal. He wants to return to the highest level in slalom, his signature discipline, where he has excelled for years.

Last season, he finished fourth in the world rankings, just a few points off the podium:

Henrik Kristoffersen – 662 ptsLoïc Meillard – 610 ptsTimon Haugan – 609 ptsClément Noël – 606 pts

This season, Clément will limit his giant slalom races to focus on the 11 slaloms on the calendar. His goal: to aim for consistency and build momentum leading up to Milan-Cortina.

🧭 Victor Muffat-Jeandet

At 36, Victor Muffat-Jeandet has once again set his sights on Ushuaïa, the training camp he has been attending for nearly twenty years. "It's become a bit of a habit, but I'm not tired of it. I missed the camp once due to injury and then for two years because of COVID. It's a very important camp." As dedicated as ever, Victor knows that he can spring a surprise at any moment.

🌟 Léo Anguenot

Léo Anguenot is the breath of fresh air in French skiing. At 25, he made his mark last season with an incredible second place in the giant slalom at Alta Badia, just behind the untouchable Marco Odermatt. This year, Léo wants to build on that success. He is aiming for more regular podium finishes in the giant slalom, but also has his sights set on the Olympic Games, where he hopes to defend the French colors.

‍

🗓️ A busy and decisive season

The schedule is packed:

38 races for the men, including 9 giant slaloms, 11 slaloms, 9 super-G races, and 9 downhill races.

The season kicks off in Sölden, then moves on to Levi, Gurgl, Val d'Isère, Alta Badia, Schladming, Kranjska Gora, and many other classic venues.

The grand finale will take place in Norway, with the speed events in Kvitfjell (March 22, 2026) and the men's slalom in Hafjell (March 25).

Suffice to say, it's going to be tough to keep up the pace. Between the elevation changes, fatigue, and mounting Olympic pressure, mental and physical management will be crucial.

‍

⚔️ Sharp opponents

The names haven't changed much, but the ambitions certainly have. In slalom, Feller, Straßer, Kristoffersen, Meillard, McGrath, and Haugan will still be there, ready to battle it out for hundredths of a second. In giant slalom, Marco Odermatt remains the undisputed leader, but Loïc Meillard, Filip Zubčić, and Steen Olsen are dreaming of knocking him off his perch.
