Gremaud is currently sitting in a tie with U.S. skier Marin Hamill on 136 points apiece – though if the Crystal Globe were awarded today, Gremaud would take the win based on her win at the season-opener in Stubai. Hamill, meanwhile, has a second-place finish at Laax and two top-12 finishes from Stubai and Aspen. The 24-year-old U.S. skier was was unable to qualify for the finals in both of her Milano Cortina 2026 events.

On the men’s side of things, Milano Cortina 2026 Freeski Slopestyle gold medalist Birk Ruud (NOR) leads the men’s field of 62 in Tignes.
