World Cup opener safe
“Perfect conditions”: Green light for Sölden!
Nothing stands in the way of the start of the Alpine Ski World Cup in Sölden. Following a positive snow inspection on Thursday by the FIS, the green light has been given for the races on October 26 and 27 on the Rettenbach Glacier.
FIS race directors Markus Mayr and Janez Hladnik were on site to see for themselves the excellent conditions on the race slope, while ÖSV athletes and the international ski elite trained.
"The piste on the Rettenbach Glacier offers exactly what we need for a successful start to the World Cup season. The athletes find perfect conditions here," explained Mayr. "The team in Sölden has done an excellent job."
The weather has been kind to Sölden, the snow cover on the Rettenbachferner offers "more space for the public slope than we've had for a long time", said ÖSV Managing Director Christian Scherer recently. By "breaking up the big rock", Scherer referred to the much-criticized excavator work on the glacier in 2023, "significantly fewer resources are now needed to be able to offer such a great training and racing slope this year".
