Hey guys,
Heading to Val Gardena 2nd week of December. The Ski World cup starts on the 15th December. At what point do they close the run to prepare it? - I'm just super keen to know if I'll be able to ski the run in the first few days!

@geomar, I think it wouldn't take more than a week to prepare the course for the World Cup, so I expect it will be open for several days after you arrive.

Having stayed there several times in early to mid-December, I have never seen the race slope itself open before the races. However, there are sections of runs largely parallel with the race track which remain open.

Ahhh that is a shame! Ski from the 11th, so holding out a little hope, but my first thought is that it'd be closed. Looking forward to the parellel run either way

Temperatures finally look to be dropping next week. They’ll probably need a couple of weeks of snow making conditions to get the Saslong into competition condition. Other runs won’t need as much given the grassy base. Hopefully temps and humidity will be low enough for long enough and they will have enough water and can afford the electricity to make their snow before the season is due to start on the 3rd December in the Alta Badia.
Still haven’t seen the usual ‘Super Dolomiti’ pre season newsletter yet, though I did come across reference to a short new black slope that has been cut through the trees above st Viglio. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02xvUczQ56u5HRZ5DqsAau2Wq5WU6VWtUiuhqLR3hG9xUcLg5PdxDzqmjJ6wLvdgc5l&id=100063722582526
