Mexico participated in the first, and so far, only edition of the Winter Pan American Games in 1990 in Argentina. Mexico sent 4 athletes and only 8 countries participated. The competition was limited to 3 alpine skiing events due to the lack of snow. The following edition in 1993 was cancelled after the United Stated refused to compete without a full schedule of events, and the Winter Pan American Games have never been held again.^[5]
