The individual World Cup winner was Andreas Felder and Nations Cup was taken by Team of Austria. Total 4 events were cancelled; Oberwiesenthal was rescheduled 3-times (two times to Oberhof) and finally cancelled due to bad weather. Olympic test for both events in Courchevel was cancelled as new hills were not yet completed. And last of the season in Štrbské Pleso was cancelled due to severe crashes and poorly prepared inrun.
