The 9th World Cup season began in December 1974 in France and concluded in March 1975 in Italy. Gustav Thöni of Italy would regain his fourth overall title in five seasons. Annemarie Moser-Pröll of Austria won her fifth consecutive. Three major changes took place on the World Cup circuit this season. First, Alpine combined races were recognized as World Cup events for the first time. Second, a parallel slalom race was held at the end of the season, as parallel slalom had become popular on the professional skiing tour due to the visible head-to-head competition. Although parallel slalom skiing was used a few more times in World Cup competition, beginning in 1976 it became a permanent part of the season-ending Nations Cup events. Third, more the new head of the International Olympic Committee, Lord Killanin, reached a compromise to preserve the "amateur" status of skiers receiving endorsements, manufacturer's fees, other payments, as long as the payments were made to the skier's national association or Olympic committee and not directly to the skier, that eliminated the prohibition on year-round training and competition in a sport.

While further criticism of this rule, known as Olympics Rule 26, would continue and would lead to future problems, such as the banning of World Cup champions Stenmark and Hanni Wenzel from the 1984 Winter Olympics, the immediate impact of this change was to check the steady migration of World Cup skiers to the professional circuit. As a result, World Cup races this season took place in Europe, North America, Asia; the Men's Overall World Cup 1974/75 was divided into three periods with only a part of the results from each period being retained for the Overall standings. In Men's Downhill World Cup 1974/75 the best 5 results count. Five racers had a point deduction. Franz Klammer won the cup with maximum points, he won 8 races out of 9, but at the downhill of Megève one of his bindings opened and he did not finish the race. In Men's Giant Slalom World Cup 1974/75 the best 5 results count. One racer had a point deduction, given in. In Men's Slalom World Cup 1974/75 the best 5 results count. Four racers had a point deduction.

There was no special discipline world cup for Combined awarded. All three results only count for the Overall World Cup. Gustav Thöni won all three competitions; this was the important key that enabled Thöni to defeat Ingemar Stenmark in the Overall World Cup standings. The Women's Overall World Cup 1974/75 was divided into two periods. From the first 14 races the best 7 results count and from the last 12 races the best 6 results count.

Alonzo Delano, who went by the pen name "Old Block", was an American humorist, pioneer town city father, a California Gold Rush Forty-niner. Delano's sketches of gold rush camp life rivaled Mark Twain in popularity. Delano was born in New York, his father, Dr. Frederick Delano, a physician, was an early settler of the town. Delano had ten siblings; the family descended from French Huguenots. His great-great-grandfather, Phillipe de la Noye, was the great-great-great-great-grandfather of U. S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he left school when he was young, started working at age fifteen. His work as an itinerant merchant took him to frontier communities in Indiana. By 1848, Delano had relocated his family to Ottawa, Illinois where he worked as a merchant selling bank stocks, lard and whiskey, while becoming a well-respected community leader, he became ill that year with consumption, following his physician's orders for a change of residence and more exertion, Delano decided to head west to California.

Before departing, he made arrangements to send correspondence to the publishers of two newspapers, the Ottawa Free Trader and True Delta in New Orleans. At the age of 42, being sick, he shipped his belongings, including cattle, to join the Dayton Company of travelers in St. Joseph, the rendezvous point, his first week traveling was spent delirious with fever. He did not see his family again for six years; when Delano reached Marysville, California, he earned $400 in three weeks drawing portraits of whiskered gold miners at an ounce of gold dust per head. After reaching San Francisco, Delano became a correspondent for the San Francisco Daily Courier and the Pacific News. Along with Prentice Mulford, Delano was one of the first to use “California Humor”, a style of writing that uses satirical social commentary that exaggerates situations; some of his articles were written by his long-nosed proto-Will Rogers figure "Old Block", taken from his whimsical sketches of miners and gamblers. These articles were collected and published in book form in Pen-Knife Sketches and Old Block's Sketch Book.

Charles Nahl was his illustrator. Delano's book, On the Trail to the California Gold Rush, was a chronicle of his 1849 travels to California, included an Introduction by American historian J. S. Holliday, his letters, a journal, some writings were published in Life on the Plains and among the Diggings. His comical play, A Live Woman in the Mines, features the hero Pike County Jess and heroine High Betty Martin. In 1850, Timothy Ellsworth and Delano purchased a claim on Massachusetts Hill located near Gold Hill in Nevada County and organized the Sierra Quartz Mining Company. At one point, Delano owned one-sixth of the Massachusetts Hill Quartz Mine. In 1851, Delano sold out his interest to Dr. J. C. Delavan, an agent of Rocky Bar, a New York company. Delano was a storekeeper including Grass Valley, he was elected the first treasurer of the city of California. He started working for Wells, Fargo & Company in Sacramento in 1854 and was Grass Valley's first Wells Fargo agent. During a visit to his hometown of Aurora in 1830, Delano married Mary Burt.
