    The 47th FIS Alpine Ski World Cup season is scheduled to begin on 27 October 2012, in Sölden, Austria, and conclude on 17 March 2013, at the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.[1][2]

    Being an odd-numbered year, the biennial World Championships will take place in February. The 2013 World Championships are scheduled for 4–17 February in Schladming, Austria.

    For the first time the International Ski Federation is upgrading its city events, paralell slalom, by awarding them World Cup points also for the Slalom crystal globe ranking,[3] not just overall.

    Starting this season, the governing body will not award a Combined crystal globe trophy for the season-long titles. Many organizers say the event is difficult to market.[4] This event will still count in overall ranking.

    In Men competition we could see one nice record today made by Croat Ivica Kostelic.

    http://www.fisalpine.com/news/pinturault-celebrates-victory-wengen,2223.html

    "Kostelic already holds the all-disciplines World Cup podium record at Wengen with 10, one ahead of Miller. By landing on the podium in today’s Super Combined, he matched the men's World Cup record of 11 podiums at a single venue.
    “This is my 11th podium here in Wengen and I am really proud that I achieved so many great results at a resort that has so much history. I have a special connection to this place and today it brought me luck once again, I am very happy.”

    Today he achieved his 12th podium in Slalom race.

    Croat Ivica Kostelic, Austrian Marcel Hirscher and Italian Dominik Paris won in three different disciplines, Alpine Skiing Combined, Slalom and Downhill.:thumbsup:

    Kitzbühel is probably most popular ski race in Ski World Cup competition.

    Ted Ligety and Mikaela Shiffrin going big at the World Championships.


    Ligety looked all over the place in the GS, but kept it together and blew away the field. Reminded me a bit of Bode.
