After the highly successful staging of the three 2015 FIS World Championships last winter in Kreischberg (AUT), Vail-Beaver Creek (USA) and Falun (SWE), it's time to look ahead to next editions. With the 2017 and 2019 hosts named, all eyes will soon turn to the bidding process to host the 2021 FIS World Championships in Alpine Skiing, the Nordic disciplines and Freestyle/Snowboard.

The first step in the process is quickly approaching as the deadline for National Ski Associations to submit applications to host any of the three 2021 World Championships is 1st May. Once the applications have been received, the Council will review the applications at its Meeting in Varna (BUL), where in early June where there will be a briefing for all Candidates. Afterwards each will be required to complete a detailed questionnaire over the summer months and meet the FIS Inspection Group. Finally the Council will elect the Organisers during the FIS Congress in 2016.
