Montpelier — Vermont’s Killington ski resort has signed a deal to host World Cup ski racing for the next two years.

Killington officials signed the agreement with the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association on Monday to host four-day events over Thanksgiving weekend 2017 and 2018. Killington spokesman Michael Joseph said the deal will get final approval from the governing international ski organization FIS, or Federation Internationale de Ski, which plans to ratify the agreement by late May.

Killington hosted the event last November, becoming the first eastern U.S. resort to host a World Cup event since 1991. The event was broadcast to over 60 nations, including a nationwide broadcast in the U.S. It also drew an estimated 30,000 spectators to the resort to watch the action.

“Last year we accomplished all of our goals, which were to promote Eastern skiing and Killington to the global audience,” said Killington organizing committee chairman Herwig Demschar in a news release on Tuesday. “It was very powerful to see the local and regional communities come together to support World Cup racing. We have a blueprint for successful races to build on, and we are going to throw a party you don’t want to miss.”

As with last November, the next two Killington World Cups will involve women’s slalom and giant slalom competition.

Olympic champion and former Lyme resident Mikaela Shiffrin won the slalom and finished fifth in the giant slalom in the tour’s return to Vermont.
