2017 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Downhill
The women's downhill in the 2017 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved eight events, including the season finale in Aspen, Colorado (USA). Defending champion (and eight-time discipline champion) Lindsey Vonn of the USA was injured during the first half of the season, leaving the championship race wide open. However, Slovenian skier Ilka Štuhec won the first three downhills of the season and ended up carrying a 97-point lead into the finals, meaning that all she needed was either to finish in the top 15 herself or for rising Italian skier Sofia Goggia, who was in second, not to win. As it turned out, Štuhec won the final herself, clinching the discipline title. The season was interrupted by the 2017 World Ski Championships, which were held from 6–20 February in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The women's downhill was held on 12 February.

2016–17 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Skiing World Cup is the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition. The inaugural FIS World Cup season launched in January 1967 and this 51st season began on 22 October 2016 in Sölden, Austria, and concluded in the United States at Aspen on 19 March 2017.

2016 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Combined
The Women's Combined competition in the 2015–16 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, 2016 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved three events, first a Alpine skiing combined, super-combined (downhill and one run of Slalom skiing, slalom), and then two Alpine skiing, Alpine combined (a Super-G and one run of slalom). Under the rules in effect at the time, three races in the discipline were required to award a crystal globe to the discipline champion (and, in a change, fewer than three races might still be sufficient, after no crystal globes were handed out in the discipline for the three previous seasons). 2016 overall champion Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland won the super-combined but then lost the season combined championship (and the crystal globe) to her Swiss teammate Wendy Holdener, who placed first and second in the two Alpine combineds. However, Gut's third-place finish in the last race of the season, which was run in reverse order (slalom first, then Super-G), was sufficient for her ...

2016 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Downhill
The women's downhill competition in the 2016 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved nine events, including the season finale in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Defending champion Lindsey Vonn of the USA won five of the first six races in the season and, after finishing second in a race at La Thuile (the Italian side of Mont Blanc), wrapped the season title (her eighth in the discipline) with one race remaining -- which was fortunate, as Vonn suffered a season ending injury in the very next race (a Super-G). The downhill at Altenmarkt-Zauchensee was conducted in a rare two-run format due to the course having to be shortened, and 1970s World Cup great Annemarie Moser-Pröll was on hand to congratulate Vonn for equaling (and then surpassing) her all-time record total of World Cup downhill wins. At the finals, oft-injured 28-year-old Canadian downhiller Larisa Yurkiw, who was just finishing her best season (having been in second place in the season standings (behind Vonn) before the fin ...
