After several races held on the slopes of the World Cup of 1989, in December 1997 were held on the first track that would host the World Cup in 1999, the Birds of Prey, which then forms part of the permanent World Cup. The first race was a descent, was won by Kristian Ghedina, inter alia, on a path that was not really the best for him that he was above all a great slide. On the Birds of Prey have been held so far down 15, 12 and 11 Giants Cup Super-G. Hermann Maier (pictured, after finishing second in the super-G in 2008) and Aksel Lund Svindal are those who have won the highest number of podiums, 10, Herminator has more overall victories, 6, to which would be added also two of the World Cup 1999, Maier and Bode Miller have 3 wins downhill, Maier and Hannes Reichelt 2 in super-G, giant Ted Ligety 3 in the last four races between the poles wide on the slopes of Colorado. Italy as well as to boasts Ghedina's success in Max Blardone giant in 2006 and Christof Innerhofer Matteo Marsaglia downhill and super-G in that twelve months ago opened the way to the fantastic last season dell'Italjet.

Magico Becchis, apre la doppietta azzurra con Valerio: è il 5° titolo mondiale del fuoriclasse cuneese
A Madona ecco il titolo tanto atteso per l'Italia dello skiroll, con la Sprint a skating tutta del campionissimo ancora sul gradino più alto del podio iridato, assieme al compagno di nazionale d'argento. Peccato per Alba Mortagna (miglior tempo in qualificazione), 4^ nel giorno di Kaparkaleja. Titoli juniores a Lia (con tripletta norge tra le donne) e il lettone Bilans che trionfa in casa.
