Yup, Holmenkollen is gone, but it seems that they'll try to look for a last second replacement for the world cup ending.

SERIOUSLY

 

What is up with IBU story on Instagram saying that there won't be Holmenkollen this year???

 

Are we actually going to cancel the final stage of the World Cup for the second year in a row? 

 

Let's go end the season in Poland. 

All Norwegian World Cups in March are not going to happen, it seems.

We should just ban Oslo for destroying our fun every year

I think there are a few alternatives with Sweden, Poland or Switzerland at the top.  Obertilliach is hosting the World Juniors.  That could also be an option.

Hear me out...Almaty

I think a hot favorite could be Östersund. After they fell out in December, they mentioned that they will be ready the whole season if they need a replacement. The snow should also be no problem.

I don't think even Almaty is interested in Almaty.

Which is a shame, Almaty was pretty awesome and according to our resident cross-country skier/former biathlete everything was handled and organized very well there, plus I remember the scenery was pretty cool.

Course has a reputation for being a lung buster too.

Realistically, the best place would be anywhere within a few hours coach or rail journey from NMNM.
