He skis in all five alpine disciplines and specializes in the speed events of downhill and super-G.
Innerhofer lives in Gais, South Tyrol. He debuted in the World Cup in November 2006, and won his first race, a downhill, at Bormio on December 28, 2008.[1]
At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, Innerhofer won a medal of each color: gold in super-G, silver in super combined, and bronze in downhill.[2][3][4] At the first World Cup race following the World Championships, Innerhofer won the super combined at Bansko, Bulgaria. The race was unusual in that the slalom portion was run first, in anticipation of fog; the afternoon speed run was a super G, rather than a downhill.[5]
