Skiers competed in sitting, standing or visually impaired classification categories in downhill, giant slalom, slalom, super-G, super combined and team events.

Over 130 skiers competed, with Russia finishing the championship on top of the medal table in both gold medals won and total medals.

This proved to be the last event under the title of "IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships". On 30 November 2016, the IPC, which serves as the international governing body for 10 disability sports, including Alpine skiing, adopted the "World Para" branding for all of those sports. The world championships in said sports were immediately rebranded as "World Para" events. Accordingly, from 2017 forward, the event will be known as the "World Para Alpine Skiing Championships".[2]
