Hopefully they'll all go to Lebanon, as that should be their best chance.

 

It looks like those Lebanese alpine and XC races will be like some Winter Games for the super exotic nations.

There is one weekend of racing, just before the deadline (19-21 January). There also some Turkish and Iranian races so I guess they should have enough opportunities.

 

I though there were two Lebanese weekends actually, but turns out the first one only has children categories.

From another Isafjordur race page:   

http://www.fossavatn.com/en

“Our partner Craft Sport offers waxing services at their store, where you can leave your skis and have them done for you. The guesthouses usually try to provide some facilities for their guests who want to wax their skis themselves. There are waxing facilities at the parking behind Hotel Isafjordur, Silfurtorgi 2 where skiers can wax their own skis. You have to bring your own stuff though.”
