Excitement is already building ahead of the 2024 Stifel Birds of Prey Audi FIS Ski World Cup, which will take place in Beaver Creek this December, and it’s no wonder: This historic double race weekend will feature both women’s and men’s World Cup races for the first time.

The nonprofit Vail Valley Foundation, which produces the Stifel Birds of Prey race, today announced two premium racing experience levels for fans who want to enjoy the best of this year’s races, which take place December 6-8 (men) and December 14-15 (women).

“This year’s Stifel Birds of Prey marks a defining moment in our community’s great ski racing tradition. History will be made and the great excitement and drama of ski racing will take center stage,” said Mike Imhof, President of the Vail Valley Foundation. “Ourselves, Vail Resorts, Beaver Creek Resort, Beaver Creek Resort Company, FIS, US Ski & Snowboard and all of our partners and sponsors look forward to coming together with our community and racing fans from around the world. We look forward to doing our best as the international spotlight shines brightly on a historic moment for our iconic Birds of Prey course.”

Those who want to experience this historic double-header weekend from a bird’s eye view can choose from a range of VIP packages, including one-day race weekends for men and women, and five-day packages with races for both men and women.
