“The snow situation is good and the competition course is covered with man-made snow,” the Organisers said. “It is the same situation with the ski test area, so all the competition venues are prepared for the opening. The weather prognosis is also promising, winter-like weather will continue for at least the next ten days”.

The competition programme will see the Cross-Country skiers compete in two individual FIS World Cup races. In Nordic Combined and men’s Ski Jumping, two competitions for each discipline are on the schedule (click here for more details).
