Alphand, who won by just 34 points, became the first male French overall winner in 29 years, since Jean-Claude Killy in 1968.[1] After his overall victory, as well as discipline titles in both downhill (his third straight) and super-G (the only two events in which Alphand competed during the season),[1] Alphand retired from international competition. Five-time overall World Cup champion Marc Girardelli of Luxembourg also retired during the season after suffering another knee injury during a race in December 1996.

A break in the schedule was for the World Championships, held 3–15 February in Sestriere, northwestern Italy.
