"Now that I’ve had a minute to reflect on the weekend, I wanted to take some time to thank not only Copper, @copperpresident, and POWDR for all of your tireless work…but also the course crew, volunteers, sponsors, Stifel U.S. Ski Team, and—ESPECIALLY—all of the fans who came out to support and waited so patiently all weekend for autographs and pictures. You are truly unmatched," Mikaela Shiffrin wrote.

She added:

"I packed my bags for the next four months, trained early this morning, and now we’re getting ready to head to Mont-Tremblant. Though it was exhausting to race at home at 10,000 feet (my legs—and lungs—are still recovering!), my heart is full and I couldn’t have imagined a more special weekend—from Aleks’ return to the start gate to spending time with my family for Thanksgiving at home.🥰 Finally, thank you to my team…you are all working so hard and I am so thankful for the vibe we’ve got going. The train don’t stop! 🚂 #stifelusskiteam"
