Results: Sarah Hoefflin wins Silvaplana World Cup

Silvaplana’s Corvatsch Park was meant to provide a full late-season showdown across freeski and snowboard, but bad weather reshaped the final weekend of the 2025/26 World Cup stop in Switzerland. The cleanest competitive storyline came in freeski slopestyle, where Sarah Hoefflin won the women’s event on home snow and Birk Ruud took the men’s title. In snowboard slopestyle, however, no winners were crowned after both the men’s and women’s competitions were canceled.

The event, staged from 25 to 29 March at Corvatsch Park & Pipe Finals, carried extra weight as a season-ending World Cup stop. But persistent wind and weather disruptions forced repeated schedule changes, and in snowboard slopestyle the programme ultimately could not be completed.

Hoefflin delivers a home win in women’s freeski slopestyle

Saturday belonged to Switzerland’s Sarah Hoefflin, who topped the women’s freeski slopestyle final with a score of 80.07. It was a significant result for the experienced Swiss skier, who won in front of a home crowd after a difficult season and secured her first World Cup victory in six years.

Kirsty Muir finished second for Great Britain on 75.54, while Switzerland’s Giulia Tanno rounded out the podium in third on 70.53. Muir’s runner-up finish also proved decisive in the season standings, as it was enough to secure the women’s Freeski Slopestyle Crystal Globe.

According to FIS race coverage, Hoefflin set the standard with her first run and held on as changing speed and wind made improvement difficult for much of the field. The result capped one of the feel-good moments of the Silvaplana weekend, with a Swiss victory at one of the tour’s most established season finales.

Ruud closes out the men’s freeski slopestyle season in style

In the men’s freeski slopestyle final, Birk Ruud continued his outstanding season by winning with 83.52. The Norwegian, already Olympic champion in the discipline from Milano Cortina 2026, added another World Cup victory and locked up the men’s Freeski Slopestyle Crystal Globe.

Estonia’s Henry Sildaru finished second, while the United States’ Mac Forehand took third. Ruud’s result underlined his control of the discipline this season and gave Silvaplana another high-level final despite the difficult weather window around the event.

Snowboard slopestyle events canceled due to bad weather

The snowboard slopestyle side of the weekend never reached a conclusion. The men’s competition was canceled after weather disruption and scheduling limitations prevented the programme from being completed. The women’s event was also eventually called off, with ongoing wind preventing competition from going ahead on Sunday.

That means no Silvaplana snowboard slopestyle winners should be recorded for either the men’s or women’s competitions. Instead, the final discipline standings were settled based on the completed events already held earlier in the World Cup season.

Crystal Globes decided without a final snowboard contest

With the minimum number of slopestyle competitions already completed during the season, the Crystal Globes could still be awarded despite the cancellations in Silvaplana. China’s Su Yiming finished on top of the men’s Snowboard Slopestyle standings, while the women’s globe went to American teenager Lily Dhawornvej.

Those season titles became part of the story in Silvaplana, even without final-day snowboard results. In that sense, the Swiss stop still helped define the end of the campaign — just in a more frustrating and weather-affected way than athletes, organisers and fans would have wanted.

A weather-hit finale still produced defining moments

Silvaplana was designed as a showcase event at the close of the park and pipe winter, and while the full programme did not survive the conditions, it still delivered meaningful outcomes. Hoefflin’s home win and Ruud’s latest statement victory gave the freeski slopestyle competitions real weight, while the snowboard cancellations served as a reminder of how quickly  conditions can reshape even the most important weekends of the season.
