The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1989 were held February 2–12 in the

time zones.[2] The championship was marked by the death of the president of the Spanish Olympic Committee Alfonso, Duke of Anjou and Cádiz, who was beheaded by a cable which he collided with as it was being raised to support a finish line banner.[3]

Vail and Beaver Creek later hosted the World Championships a decade later, in 1999, and again in 2015.
