Absolutely terrible conditions for racing in Aspen. Kilde, Odermatt and others didn't have any chance of getting close to those that started before the interruption.

this was not a race...c'mon, man! 

 

not a world cup track, disputable weather conditions...the perfect place for a farce.

It doesn't look like there'll be another end of season north american trip like this one in future seasons...

Downhill in Aspen Cancelled after 20 skiers finished their run. The race is removed and results will not be counted

Because snow conditions in Europe have been so ideal this season

The track itself looked pretty good, to be fair. Not in these conditions of course, but I mean the layout. I've seen significantly worse, like, you know, the Olympics again and again

Aspen is a luxury ski resorts for snobs tbh. Whomever thought getting it back to World Cup in March is insane. But yeah, they are cutting off Lake Louise in December so they desperately want to shift North American section somehwere. This proved to be a total disaster this season...

 

Might as well stick to Are or Soldeu for March events. Kvitfjell is a natural for years given it's northern location.

Not like St Moritz or Davos or Chamonix are not luxury ski resorts for snobs, and those aren't reasons not to have World Cup events in winter sports there. In other words: not really a relevant thing, yesterday was more of an unfortunate thing than anything else - and still better than what we've seen in all of Central Europe this season in terms of having some white snakey thing through the otherwise green landscapes.

Yeah, but those places are in relative close proximity while you're asking athletes to travel to USA in the first week of March when most of them are tired physically and mentally at this stage of the season and then they have to to go back for World Cup finals to Europe again. From a logistics point of view it makes no sense whatsoever. Staging North American races in the first half of December makes all the sense but you tell me why Lake Louise needs to be killed off which creates a bad hole in the calendar if the Zermatt races keep getting cancelled because of lack of snow. Are and Kvitfjell have enough northern latitude they can fill the March dates each season, nobody is asking for Central Europe to host World Cup in March.
