The World Cup schedule was realigned for the 1995–96 season, with the North American events moved to the early part of the season, in late November and early December. Previously, these races in Canada and the United States were scheduled near the end of the season, in late February and early March.

A break in the schedule was for the 1996 World Championships, held 12–25 February in southern Spain at Sierra Nevada. These championships were originally scheduled for 1995, but were postponed due to a lack of snow.
