She won the first slalom race of the season, taking the lead after the first run. Her aggressive second run left her atop the podium, 0.79 seconds ahead of Katharina Liensberger of Austria.
Lena Duerr of Germany finished third, 0.83 seconds back of Shiffrin.
"It is a great start to the slalom season," said Shiffrin, 29. "I had two really strong runs, so I am happy to fight on the second run in tough conditions."
World Cup action continues next weekend in Gurgl, Austria, and Shiffrin will be back on home U.S. soil Nov. 30-Dec. 1 when the competition is held in Killington, Vt. She could capture her 100th World Cup victory there.
Shiffrin, a Colorado resident, trained at Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont as a teenager.
On March 11, 2023, in Are, Sweden, Shiffrin won her 87th World Cup race to break the record held by Ingemar Stenmark of Austria.
