The 2003/04 season of the Alpine Ski World Cup organized by the FIS began on October 25, 2003 in Sölden and ended on March 14, 2004 on the occasion of the World Cup final in Sestriere . 37 races were held for the men (12 downhill runs , 7 super-G , 7 giant slaloms , 11 slaloms ), plus two combination scores. For women there were 35 races (9 downhill runs, 8 super-G, 8 giant slaloms, 10 slaloms).
This season was an interim year without a World Cup or Olympic Games.
For the men, the overall World Cup was dominated by a duel between Hermann Maier , who returned to the World Cup after an almost two-year injury break , who had already won the World Cup three times before his serious motorcycle accident (1998, 2000, 2001), and Stephan Eberharter , who was in Maier's absence won the overall ratings for 2002 and 2003. Eberharter had a bad start to the season due to a strong cold (so that initially Bode Miller was seen as the main competitor for Maier), but gradually caught up and was 42 points behind the last scheduled race, the giant slalom in Sestriere. When this race was canceled due to bad weather, Maier was the winner of the World Cup.
