The alpine skiing World Cup is a circuit of alpine skiing competitions regulated by the FIS. Held at ski resorts across Europe, the continental US, and Canada, competitors compete to achieve the best time in four disciplines: Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super-G, and Downhill. After every race, points are awarded to the top 30 athletes - The athlete with the most points at the end of the season wins the cup. Sub-prizes are also awarded for athletes with the most point totals in each individual race discipline.
The World Cup is held every year, and is considered the premier competition for alpine ski racing after the tetrannual Winter Olympics. Lower competitive circuits include the NORAM Cup in North America and the Europe Cup in Europe.
