The Alpine Skiing World Cup is an annual series of ski races organized by the International Ski Federation (FIS). It features elite skiers competing in various disciplines, including slalom, giant slalom, super-G, and downhill. The competition typically runs from October to March, with events held in different countries around the world. Athletes earn points based on their performance in each race, contributing to their overall ranking in the World Cup standings. The skier with the most points at the end of the season is crowned the overall champion, while separate titles are awarded for each discipline.
