It was probably inevitable, but the news that the World Cup will not be making its stop at Killington later this year still stings.
The Homelight Killington Cup race had been one of the most popular stops on the local ski circuit over the last four years, with thousands descending upon the Vermont resort to cheer on the women racers, including local hero and Burke Mountain Academy product Mikaela Shiffrin, in particular.
But the coronavirus pandemic has stripped the festival from taking place this November.
Following a decision made jointly by the International Ski Federation, National Ski Associations and local organizing committees in Canada and the U.S.A, the Alpine Skiing World Cup tour will be limited to to Europe through early December.
