The season calendar was officially confirmed two months later at the congress in Cancún, Mexico. After a 4-year absence, FIS Team Tour was almost certain to return in the WC calendar, but cancelled in the last moment when Klingenthal had to replace Titisee early in season.

The competition lasted for ten consecutive days with a total of 16 rounds in overall standings: 8 rounds from four individual events, 4 rounds from two team events and all 4 qualifications rounds. With record high prize money of €100,000 in total for top 3 in overall: €60,000 for the title, €30,000 (second) and €10,000 (third place).[1]
Invention by Slovenian manufacturer, with LED lights illuminated inrun track, was first time presented to the public at the International Ski Federation fall meeting this season in Zürich. It premiered in December at Engelberg, since they equipped their completely new inrun track with it.[2]
This season had a total of four different ski brands suppliers. The two new ski manufactures premiered and replaced the two brands that stopped the production: Verivox replaced Fluege.de and Slovenian company Slatnar instead of Elan. And also Fischer and Sport 2000 were present.[3]
26 men's individual events on 18 different venues in 9 countries and 19 women's individual events on 10 different venues in 8 countries had been organised on two different continents (Europe and Asia). There were also 6 men's team events.
