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.

Shifts

Men's:

• More than a week before the races in Val-d'Isère , the cancellation was imminent, especially the departure on December 13th had already been canceled. It was brought forward to December 5th in Beaver Creek. Alta Badia was up for grabs for the giant slalom on December 14th, although initially it was planned to run this one after the other and the one already planned there, then start the Val Gardena program and finish with the Super-G on December 21st.
• The departure in Bormio was postponed from December 28th to December 29th due to snowfall, wind and fog; From 12 noon there were attempts to start every half hour until 3 p.m. at the latest possible. After that, 40 cm of fresh snow overnight made the event on December 29 impossible.

Women:

• The Super-G scheduled for December 21st in St. Moritz had to be canceled because of the fog bank known as the “Maloja snake”.

Injuries

• Frédéric Covili suffered a ligament injury in his left knee in a fall in the first round of the giant slalom in Alta Badia on December 21, and that was the end of the season for him.
• On the descent in St. Moritz on December 20, Christine Sponring (she wore the start number 26) fell at a speed of approx. 100 km / h in the lower part of the route and hit the fence, suffered a cruciate ligament and meniscus tear left knee and a shoulder dislocation.
