 Poster: A snowHead
|
 Despite temperatures dropping enough at Levi (Finland) to allow the resort management to start making snow over the weekend, the Alpine skiing World Cup competition has been cancelled due to the weather. The men’s and women's slalom — scheduled for next weekend — have been cancelled because of poor snow conditions and unfavorable forecasts, the FIS announced yesterday.
...Levi is situated above the Arctic Circle, but unusually warm temperatures and lack of snow have prevented the organising committee to properly prepare the course so far.
Ironically, Levi opened the 2007 World Cup season after the cancellation of the Opening at Soelden in October 2006, but this year the conditions have not been as favorable so far. Normally, it's possible to ski in Levi in early November with temperatures as low as -25°C at times.
The Ladies' and Men's SL cancelled in Levi have been rescheduled in Reiteralm (Austria) with the following schedule:
Saturday, 10.11.2007 - Ladies' SL at 10:00 / 13:00 CET
Sunday, 11.11.2007 - Men's SL at 10:00 / 13:00 CET

A "bit low" for what? If it's got more snow than Val Thorens at 3000m what's the problem????

It is warm today. But tomorrow will be much colder. The outlook has improved.
It looks like most of Austria will get 5 - 30cm of freshies above roughly 1500 meters between Tues and Sun this week.
Lech, in Western Austria, could get up to a half-meter in the next few days.
