2017–18 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
2017–2018 season of the Alpine Skiing World Cup
The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup was the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition. The inaugural season launched in January 1967, and the 2017–18 season marked the 52nd consecutive year for the FIS World Cup.
This season began in October 2017 in Sölden, Austria, and concluded in mid-March at the finals in Åre, Sweden. It was interrupted for most of February by the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea; the speed events were held at Jeongseon Alpine Centre with the technical events at Yongpyong Alpine Centre.
Men
With his seventh consecutive overall title, Marcel Hirscher of Austria broke the all-time record of six overall titles (and five consecutive) set by Annemarie Moser-Pröll during the 1970s.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “2017–18 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup” is 2017–2018 season of the Alpine Skiing World Cup. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Alpine, World and season, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “2017–2018 season of the Alpine Skiing World Cup” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28972130. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1967 and 2017.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
