Quick Facts FIS Alpine Ski World Cup 1986/87, Discipline ...

Along with the elimination of the Combined discipline championship, all of the combined races on the schedule were eliminated except for the traditional two combineds at Wengen, Switzerland (the Lauberhorn) and Kitzbühel, Austria (the Hahnenkamm) for the men and one at Mellau, Austria for the women. However, under new rules, points were only awarded to skiers who finished in the top 30 in each of the downhill and slalom; as a result, only two men earned points. In addition, despite the presence of two tiebreakers, the ladies' Giant Slalom discipline ended in a tie.

A break in the schedule was for the 1987 World Championships, held in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, between January 27 and February 8, 1987.
