2024 Men's Slalom World Cup
Previous: 2023 Next: 2025

The men's slalom in the 2024 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of thirteen events, including the discipline final. Due to three prior cancellations, the first men's race of the entire season was the slalom held at Gurgl, Austria on 18 November 2023. Currently, one canceled race (discussed below) is awaiting rescheduling.

Season highlights

On 27 October 2023, two days before the scheduled opening of the men's World Cup season, Lucas Braathen, the 23-year-old Norwegian who was the defending champion in the slalom discipline, announced his retirement from professional Alpine skiing, as part of a dispute with the Norwegian ski federation over his individual commercial rights.[1][2][3] The surprising aftermath of that decision was an Austrian podium sweep in Gurgl, the first race of the season, with Manuel Feller defeating Marco Schwarz and Michael Matt.[4] The Austrian victory ended a streak of 17 slaloms without an Austrian victory, dating back to January 2022.[4] However, the next scheduled race, in Val d'Isère on 10 December, was canceled due to a mix of overnight rain followed by new snow and high winds.[5] When the second race was finally held in Madonna di Campiglio, Marco Schwarz won it, coming from sixth after the first run, and took over the season lead in both the discipline and the overall men's World Cup.[6] By the next slalom, Schwarz had suffered a season-ending injury, but Feller won by .02 seconds to maintain the Austrian domination and also regain the overall lead for the season.[3]

Finals

The World Cup discipline finals are scheduled to take place on Sunday, 17 March 2024, in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria.[7] Only the top 25 in the slalom discipline ranking and the winner of the Junior World Championship will be eligible to compete in the final, except that all skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the overall classification will be eligible to compete in any discipline. Because of the reduced field size, only the top 15 finishers in the discipline final will score points.
