Zakopane/Jesna could maybe do a dual bid for something like that?

Lillehammer and St. Mortiz are probably about the best hosts you could ask for though.

We have ZERO alpine skiing infrastructure to hold an international event in this sport. The Nosal piste is closed since 2009 and was last renovated in the 1980s AFAIK. It went completely out of order after communism fell since the top part is owned by the National Park, the bottom is private land and has several owners and someone else owns the ski lift that I believe isn't working anyway. So yeah, there you have it

Jasna would have to host all the alpine skiing but we could host all the ski jumping

Looks good for the weekend - they got all 82 down on the first training run at Zermatt this morning.

Yes, it doesn't seem like the situation looks good for the weekend. Today's training was canceled due to heavy snowfall. It also looks like there will be snowing tonight, Friday night, and all day on Sunday. Let's hope that we'll have at least one race. Also, tomorrow's training should be televised.

Last year no races because of no snow. This year no races because of lots of snow. Next year no races, because of winds. Two years from now no races because of no interest...

Better to have too much snow than too little!

as expected, too much snow on the track = no training #3 Today :facepalm:

the organizers said that they want to focus on the preparation of the course for Tomorrow's race rather than rush the track cleaning for Today's training

weather forecast is good for Tomorrow, but awful for Sunday
