Heavy snowfall in Val d’Isere cancels women’s World Cup super G again

A women’s World Cup super G that was scheduled for today (Dec. 17) in Val d’Isere, France has been canceled after the area received more than two feet of snow overnight. Race officials postponed the start for three hours early this morning in an effort to clear the accumulated snow, but the heavy snow, which continues to fall, has made holding the race today impossible.

The race was originally scheduled to take place in St. Moritz, Switzerland a week ago. Wind and snow also caused that race to be canceled.

A World Cup downhill is scheduled here tomorrow Dec. 18 with a super combined on sunday Dec. 19.
