The first moguls event of the FIS World Cup freestyle ski season, due to take place in Tignes (France) on Thursday, has been cancelled due to poor snow conditions. Also, the Nokia Snowboard FIS World Cup Parallel Slalom competition, scheduled for Bad Gastein (Austria) on the 16th December, and the World Cup ski-cross event due to take place in Kreischberg (Austria) on the 17th December have also been pulled. The good news is that World Cup ski races in Val Gardena planned for the 15th and 16th December will go ahead as scheduled, despite a lack of natural snow. La Sgambeda, the opening race in the FIS Marathon Cup, will also take place as planned on the 17th December. ...With more than 30 cm of new snow, the official competition program has been confirmed and the races will be held on two different courses: the marathon, 42 km, and the shorter one, 22.5 km. The FIS has also said that World Cup cross-country ski races, scheduled for Val d’Aosta and Cogne on the 8th and 10th December, which were cancelled last month due to the snow shortage, will be held in Rybinsk, Russia, on the 20th and 21st December.
The men’s Super Combined race, cancelled in Val d'Isere, and the women’s Super Combined, cancelled in St. Moritz, and the Super-G, cancelled in Val d'Isère,, will now be held this week in Reiteralm, Austria. Snowboarding races in San Vigilio di Marebbe — originally scheduled for Sunday — will now be held on Wednesday.
