The 2025-26 Visa FIS Snowboard Alpine World Cup season was full of dramatic turns and dominant excellence by the world’s best snowboard racers. The tour traversed three continents, 10 countries, and four months. Let’s look at the highlights from the incredible season.
All eyes and hearts were set on the Olympic medals offered this season. The athletes on tour felt the pressure before the season even begun. Every event and offseason training was turned up to another level in an Olympic year and that showed out all season long on the World Cup tour.
Legends vs the New Generation
A running theme this season was the new class of youth going toe-to-toe with the legends of the sport for the podium spots. The emerging generation pushed towards and took the top of the sport on many occasions.
Stalwarts Benjamin Karl, Andreas Prommegger, Roland Fischnaller were some of the longtime athletes who were still competing at the highest level. Fischnaller took three victories and Karl won two World Cup races this season.
