After her initial struggles at the start of the FIS Ski World Cup in Solden, where she finished fifth, a few people had started doubting Mikaela Shiffrin’s ability to win. But writing Mikaela off this early, a skiier who has proven over the years that she’s a seasoned winner, was always going to be a blunder. Sooner or later, she would show her class again, which she did in Levi.

The skiier powered her way through a 98th Ski World Cup victory, edging closer to the elusive 100 mark. It was a brilliant achievement and reminded the audience of the class she has. Now, many are awaiting the next race, speculating whether Mikaela Shiffrin would touch 99 this time. The next races are in North America, where the winner of every race will earn $50,000, upping the stakes. Thus, people are already fighting for tickets to go there, as they want to witness her greatness firsthand. Here’s how you can buy tickets for the three events.

Killington

The tickets for the Killington edition of the FIS Ski World Cup can be obtained from Killington.com or Eventbrite.com. Prices of the races range from $10-$100. There are three types of tickets available. The first one is the Premier Grandstand ticket row, which costs $100 without tax and is for the spectators who wish to see the race from the highest five rows from the grandstand and at the base of the superstar trail.

This is possibly the best seat in the venue, and the viewers can enjoy the Ski World Cup race to the fullest from here. Buying this ticket also helps a very noble cause, as a percentage of it goes to the Killington World Cup foundation. The next is the Grandstand ticket, which costs about $45.00 without taxes. These seats are also in the superstar trail but don’t give people access to the top five rows.

This Ski World Cup ticket also provides a great view for the race and also the view of the two big screens in the stadium that show the race. Thus, this is a great deal too. But if someone is looking for something even more affordable at $10, they can look for the general admission where they get around the superstar base. They can view about 35% of the whole arena from these places and would have to rely on the big screens for the other parts.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Mikaela Shiffrin silence her doubters by clinching her 99th victory in North America?
