Which skier won the men’s inaugural Alpine Ski World Cup overall title in 1967?

Jean-Claude Killy won the men’s inaugural Alpine Ski World Cup overall title in 1967.

The first FIS Alpine Ski World Cup season was held during the winter of 1966–67. Killy dominated the opening campaign, winning the overall men’s title and establishing himself as the leading alpine racer of the era.

Killy was especially successful in downhill, giant slalom and slalom. He later won all three men’s alpine skiing gold medals at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, matching an achievement that remains one of the defining feats in Olympic alpine skiing.

The word “inaugural” matters here: the World Cup was a new season-long circuit, not the same competition as the Alpine World Championships or the Olympics. Ingemar Stenmark later became the competition’s record-setting overall champion, but he did not win its first title.
