Disabled Alpine Skiing World Championships
- Disabled Alpine Skiing World Championships
The Disabled Alpine Skiing World Championships, along with the Winter Paralympic Games, are the most prestigious level of international competition in disabled ski racing. First held in 1974, the World Championships have been held every four years (even-numbered non-Paralympic years) from 198? to 2004; beginning in 2009, they will be held every other year, in odd-numbered years.
The change from holding the World Championships every four years to every two was originally set to happen in 2007. The 2007 edition was slated for Klosters, Switzerland, but organizers withdrew their bid in early 2006, citing a lack of funding. The IPC initially attempted to find a replacement host for the 2007 Championships but in April decided to cancel the event entirely.
