However, this has nothing to do with Cervina. The snow was abundant, the race was canceled due to the wind and heavy snowfall. maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the whole Zermatt thing sounds great, but didn't work out so well...still curious if they can try it in a different time of year perhaps. Chile would be awesome though, it's the World Cup, it shouldn't be utterly impossible to have something like a back-to-back weekend in Chile + Argentina every few years (and one in Oceania on some other years). "But our training schedules!"...yeah, adapt. You're an athlete.
