Although disabled ski competitions date to the mid-20th century and the first
Winter Paralympics were held in
1976, the Disabled Alpine World Cup is relatively new. An unofficial circuit began in the late 1990s, and the first
FIS-sanctioned World Cup race was held in
Breckenridge,
Colorado, United States in December 1999, with the first World Cup titles awarded in the spring of 2000. In 2004, the administration of the World Cup circuit, and disabled ski racing in general, passed from the
FIS to the
IPC, although the FIS is still involved in some aspects of the tour. For example, a FIS technical delegate still oversees each race. ==Winners==
