World Cup Race cancelation

The March 1 men’s World Cup Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been cancelled following weather issues on the Kandahar.

The cancellation of the Zauchensee women’s World Cup super-G has tightened the Olympic-season speed calendar, with Tarvisio now the most likely venue to replace the lost race.

Both the men’s and women’s downhill races at the Stifel Sun Valley World Cup Finals were canceled Saturday due to heavy snow and strong winds. As a result, Switzerland’s Marco Odermatt secured the men’s downhill title and completed a sweep of all four discipline globes, while Italy’s Federica Brignone claimed her first career downhill title and added a second globe to her season after already clinching the overall.

The final regular-season downhill of the Women's World Cup in La Thuile has been canceled due to persistent weather issues, leaving only one downhill race remaining this season at the World Cup Final in Sun Valley. With no improvement in the forecast, organizers will instead focus on two super-G races. The cancellation impacts skiers fighting to qualify for the final and shifts the season title battle to a single decisive race.

The Men’s Kandahar downhill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been canceled after dense fog at the bottom of the course prevented the final training run, making the race ineligible under FIS rules. Officials explored an alternative plan, but the top 15 ranked racers unanimously voted against it, leading to the event’s cancellation. The decision is a disappointment for athletes, fans, and the German Ski Federation, with financial and logistical impacts. While official racing won’t take place, U.S. and Canadian athletes have been invited to train on the historic Kandahar course ahead of the World Championships in Saalbach.

The St. Moritz Super-G finale was canceled due to unstable weather, delaying Lauren Macuga and Lindsey Vonn’s next opportunity to compete until St. Anton in January.

Despite comprehensive planning and a well-orchestrated snowmaking plan relying on a world class system, the temperatures of the last few days needed to be colder to create the snow coverage required for the PwC Tremblant World Cup scheduled for December 7 and 8, 2024. These circumstances have led the organizers to decide to cancel this edition.

The decision by Zermatt Bergbahnen to exclude elite ski teams from gate training this summer has sent ripples of concern through the ski racing community. This decision most significantly impacts Swiss-Ski, Switzerland's national federation, which heavily relied on Zermatt as the world's premier glacier speed training destination. The root of this decision lies in a series of disappointments and challenges faced by the Zermatt/Cervinia World Cup Downhill, scheduled as the opening World Cup Downhill races over the past two seasons.

Sunday, March 24th, the men's World Cup season began with a mid-race cancellation in Sölden, Austria, and ended with a cancellation of the Sunday, March 24th Saalbach, Austria, finals downhill. The Saalbach team was able to provide good racing for the seven prior races, but today, Mother Nature provided too big of a challenge.

Kranjska Gora had everything ready for the World Cup Men’s races, scheduling a giant slalom

The final regular season Men’s World Cup GS race, slated for Saturday, March 9th, had to be called off due to a lack of snow on the Podkoren Race slope in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. Recent high temperatures caused a considerable reduction in the snowpack. With daytime temperatures soaring into the 60s, the venue, once ready to host the World Cup GS, could now only accommodate a slalom event requiring less width and length.

The women's super-G race in Val di Fassa was cancelled for the second day in a row due to heavy snowfall and unsafe conditions on the track.

Val Di Fassa experienced a substantial snowfall in the past 24 hours, resulting in the cancellation of the women's World Cup super-G on February 24th. Despite the diligent efforts of the race crews to prepare the course following the snowfall, it was ultimately deemed unsafe for competition.

In alpine skiing, recent disappointments have unfolded as scheduled events face cancelations. In Chamonix, France, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
