The 28th World Cup season began in late October 1993 in Sölden, Austria, and concluded in March 1994 at the World Cup finals at Vail in the United States. The overall champions were Kjetil André Aamodt of Norway (his first) and Vreni Schneider of Switzerland (her second).
A break in the schedule in February was for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. This was a shift by the International Olympic Committee to have the Winter Olympics offset from the Summer Olympics, although keeping each on four-year schedules. As a result, this Winter Olympics took place just two years after the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.
In Women's Downhill World Cup 1993/94 all results count. Katja Seizinger won her third Downhill World Cup in a row. Tragically Austrian Ulrike Maier died after a bad crash in the race No. 23 at Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
In Women's Slalom World Cup 1993/94 all results count. Vreni Schneider won seven races and won her fifth Slalom World Cup, the last three of them in a row.
