Sunshine often hit the snow of Saalbach-Hinterglemm during the competitions, which are remembered as some of the sunniest ever. [4] The competitions also saw the international breakthroughs for skiers who would score major successes throughout the 1990s, like Austria's Stephan Eberharter [5] , and Sweden's Pernilla Wiberg. [6]
The United States Ski Team arrived late, after two races had been completed. [3] [7] Due to the Gulf War and associated security concerns, the team had withdrawn from World Cup competitions the previous week and returned home to North America. [8]
The World Championships returned to Saalbach 34 years later in 2025.
