Dave Ryding, Britain’s first-ever Alpine skiing World Cup winner and one of Britain’s all-time greatest winter sport athletes, will retire at the close of the 2025-26 season.
The 38-year-old has competed on the elite circuit for ten years, securing seven podiums – six in slalom, one in parallel slalom – in that time. The highlight of his career to date was a historic win in Kitzbuhel in 2022, the first by a Brit in the World Cup’s 55-year history.
