Alpine skiing season developments
Overview
The 2026/2027 alpine skiing season is marked by junior competitions and upcoming major events. Recent FIS Entry League races in Druskininkai, Lithuania, provided a season start for several junior athletes. Due to warm temperatures and poor glacier conditions in high mountains, elite squads have utilized indoor training on artificial snow.
Concerns have been raised regarding the World Cup schedule, specifically the eight-week gap between the season opener in Sölden and the first opportunities for female speed racers. Athletes have noted that the removal of certain venues has limited training opportunities for World Championship selection.
The season will culminate in the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, scheduled for February 1 to 14, 2027. The championships are set to include disciplines such as downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom, combined, and mixed team parallel.
