Snow cancels events at Cortina and Kitzbuehel, Bansko gets St. Moritz DH

Training runs at both Kitzbuehel and Cortina were cancelled this morning, both due to falling snow.

At Cortina there were 25inches on the ground at 6:30 am and forecasts calling for another 25. Last season the same thing happened and the women of the World Cup were treated to a snow-day and some powder skiing.

At Kitzbuehel officials made the call about 9:30. Racers were out for inspection but it was snowing too heavily to get the training run in.
