Shiffrin's 2025 season was marked with major ups and downs. After suffering a devastating fall in the giant slalom, which led to abdominal puncture, in November 2024, Shiffrin returned to the slopes after two months in Courchevel, France, for the night slalom. Before the 2024-25 season, Shiffrin had gathered 97 victories. However, the last season witnessed the American skier bag her 100th win in Sestiere, Italy, on February 23.

She went on to record another monumental feat after winning the 101st World Cup and 157th podium finish on home snow in Sun Valley, Idaho. The multiple-tie Olympic medalist is currently navigating her off-season by honing her skills for the upcoming season, which will also include her appearance at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Shiffrin shared a few glimpses of her training on Instagram and wrote:

Mikaela Shiffrin reflected on making her appearance at the competition after her 100th World Cup win. In the third episode of Moving Right Along S3, Shiffrin stated that she was still feeling the pressure in Sun Valley because reaching 500 points to reach a good starting position was important.

"Most people didn't really realize that the pressure wasn't entirely off when we went to Sun Valley. The World Cup points' situation especially how it relates to start number is a little bit complicated, little bit funky, but long story short. Hitting 500 overall points helps your start number in all disciplines and that was a really big goal for me to finish off the season hitting the 500-point threshold to help with my GS start number for next season. So, that added a sense of urgency for me for that final race." (2:16 onwards)

Mikaela Shiffrin clinched her 100th win after clocking 1:50.33s and surpassing Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic and fellow teammate Paula Moltzan.
