Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

'Classic'Alpine races
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

At the end of yesterday's Ski Sunday their was talk of next week's show featuring the Giant Slalom at Adelboden. They referred to this as a 'Classic'. I've heard mention of Kitzbuhel and Wengen as classics, and also the Schladming night slalom.

Does anyone know what constitutes a classic ? Are there only a limited number of them, like in golf or tennis where you have the 4 majors ?

Have a look at this link.

The original Club 5 were Val d'Isere, Val Gardena, Wengen, Kitzbuehel and Garmisch. The list has grown as other venues have seen teh value in co-promotion.

There have been a number of 'Classics' including the Arlberg Kandahar.

A number of people are critical of the FIS approach to promoting the sport hence the advent of the European Ski Federation and the first European Indoor Championships held in Amneville at eh start of the Winter.

Shame it's not better packaged, a la F1 IMHO..

But, to et back to the point, Classic is a word commentators overuse,,,,, although Adelboden ass a GS venue is certainly one of the most challenging therefore exciting venues.

Cheers,

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Cheers jc, very interesting. I agree that the packaging could be improved. You only need to do a web search for Alpine Classic Ski Races or Club 5 Ski to see how few results appear.
