Looks like they are trying a new planning, with lesser rounds, but 3 starts on almost all of them. Don't know, if this is because they have trouble finding hosts, they want to reduce the teams travel, the weather problems or whatever. Having no proper relays and Oslo 50 km is BS, and they should have scheduled that better..

Due to economical factors, Czech Ski Association withdrew from hosting the COOP FIS Cross-Country World Cup, which was scheduled to take place from 31st January to 2nd February 2025 in Nove Mesto na Morave.
 

Options for a substitution are currently being evaluated by the FIS Cross-Country team together with the respective NSA's and organisers.
 

A solution will be presented during the FIS Autumn meetings (24th to 27th September) to be discussed by the S.C. for World Cup & Continental Cup, Cross-Country Committee and approved by the FIS Council.

Hey, we have cross country skiing on snow this weekend!  It is the German Indoor Championships, using what looks to be some top-secret James Bond villain's lair in the former , filled with artificial or preserved snow.

We got our first event of the season tomorrow, from beautiful sunny Khanty-Mansiysk on the Siberian Riviera.

There is actually a Cross Country season opener this weekend from Muonio, .  Unfortunately the only coverage outside Finland is on Pay TV Ski Classics system.  There were sprints today, then other events Saturday and Sunday.
