In this new series of posts, we will highlight the best moments of alpine skiing since its incorporation into the Olympic Winter Games program  in Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936

The Games were the first to be held in a different year from the Summer Olympics, the first and only one to be held two years after the previous Winter Games, and the most recent to be held in a small town. The Games were the second Winter Games hosted in Norway, after the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo.
