Schladming finished second in the voting for both the 2009 and 2011 World Alpine Championships so many observers noted that the resort in the heart of ski-crazy Austria was due to land a big event. For that reason, Schladming was viewed as the frontrunner, with Beaver Creek/Vail likely a strong second and a potential winner if the delegation could sway enough council voters.

It will be the second time that Schladming has hosted the event, having done so in 1982 and gives Austria some consolation for Salzburg losing out to the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi for the right to host the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Austrian Ski Federation Peter Schroecksnadel spoke at the award ceremony after Schladming’s win Thursday and made news himself, announcing that he was stepping down from his seat on the FIS Council and would not run for re-election. “I just want to work with Schladming now,” Schroecksnadel said.
