For the third straight day officials of the U.S. Alpine Championships and Alyeska Resort, Alaska struggled to get the event underway.For the third straight day officials of the U.S. Alpine Championships and Alyeska Resort, Alaska struggled to get the event underway.

So far the event has been challenged by blizzard, volcano and a heaby snowstorm. Friday fog entered the fray.

It was quickly determined this morning it would be difficult at best to get in two downhills and a training run, so the race jury elected to run the two super G’s today.

With a solid day of artillery blasts for avalanche control and on course clearing with snow-cats Alyeska officials felt like they had done everything possible to get the races in, but a persistent fog shrouded the course. After a myriad of schedule delays, the earlier scheduled race, the women’s 11am event, was canceled well into the afternoon. The men’s event, scheduled at 2:30pm, was postponed about five o’clock.
