Due to the inconsistency of the surface on the race slope at Courchevel, France, Sunday's FIS Ski World Cup women's giant slalom race has been postponed until Monday. 

After significant snowfall before, during, and after Saturday's first of two giant slalom races at Courchevel, France, the International Ski Federation (FIS) together with the local organizing committee, decided to push off the snow, then water the surface, and groom it—ultimately compromising the surface and rendering it unsafe for athletes due to the inconsistency. 

Two-time Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin and Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team teammates Nina O'Brien, Paula Moltzan, AJ Hurt, and Keely Cashman will take on the second of two giant slalom races at the rescheduled time on Monday, Dec. 14. The first run will take place at 10 a.m. CET, with the second run at 13:00. The revised TV broadcast schedule will be forthcoming.
