Overview
The Stifel Success NorAm Series 3 at Whiteface Mountain in New York is a key stop on the 2026 FIS NorAm Cup, North America’s premier continental alpine ski racing circuit that sits just below the World Cup level and attracts top international competitors aiming to earn ranking points and potential starts on the World Cup tour. Held from February 2–12, 2026, this multi-day event features a full slate of alpine disciplines—beginning with downhill training, progressing into competitive downhill and super-G races, and concluding with technical events such as giant slalom and slalom for men and women. The NorAm Cup plays an important role in athlete development, with results impacting World Cup qualification and continental standings.
At Whiteface, racers from across North America and beyond will test themselves on the mountain’s challenging terrain and variable winter conditions, showcasing powerful speed in the downhill and super-G runs before shifting to precision and agility in giant slalom and slalom courses. As part of the broader Stifel Success NorAm Series, the event not only offers valuable FIS points and podium opportunities for emerging and established ski racers alike but also highlights Whiteface Mountain’s ongoing role as a competitive and historic alpine venue in the U.S. ski racing calendar.
