The 2019 Lake Louise Audi FIS Ski World Cup is just 10 weeks away and to showcase the event we are excited to announce the winner of the 2019 poster design contest.

During the traditional FIS spring meetings, Club 5 held its bi-annual workshop gathering its 17 members in Cavtat/Dubrovnik, with the aim of exchanging ideas and discussing important topics related to the organization of a World Cup event.

Next winter, the women’s World Cup races in Crans-Montana, which include a Downhill (22 February) and an Alpine Combined (23.02), as well as two Ladies’ European Cup Downhills on 15 and 16 February, will be preceded by a rendez-vous with the men. On Wednesday 15 January 2020, between two Men’s World Cup races taking place in the Bernese Oberland, in Adelboden and Wengen, the Organisation Committee for the FIS Alpine Ski races in Crans-Montana will be organising two heats of a night slalom exhibition, in close collaboration with the CMA Ski Lift Company and Swiss-Ski.

World cup races in Kranjska Gora in 2019 for the 58th Vitranc Cup were ended in best possible way in front of all together more than 16.000 spectators what is record high in last 7 years.

Less than a month after clinching gold in Super-G at the recent FIS Worlds organized at Are, in Sweden, Italy’s Dominik Paris achieved another impressive performance at Kvitfjell, winning his second race within twenty-four hours beating by nearly half a second Norway’s favorite Kjetil Jansrud. It was his fifth season win on the World Cup tour – his fourteenth in total in his career.

Almost 25,000 spectators were present for the Ladies’ World Cup Downhill and Combined in Crans-Montana on 23 and 24 February 2019. Despite a great success in sporting terms, the competitions were marred by issues with the Swiss Timing timing system that were totally beyond the control of the organisers.

Unfortunately we had to cancel today’s men’s Giant Slalom as well due to heavy overnight snowfall and continuous rain that softened the conditions and did not allow a safe and fair race.

After two days of Downhill training and stable weather conditions, Saturday morning’s weather forecast was not promising.

45,200 fans witnessed another demonstration of Marcel Hirscher's power at the Nightrace in Schladming. The dominant World Cup athlet crossed the finish line with a lead of 1.21 seconds at his 68th World Cup victory.

Left turn, right swing and tuck down to the finish line - the 79th Hahnenkamm Races consisted of exciting "passages" from the European Cup Downhill, International Junior Race, Hahnenkamm Downhill, Slalom and Super-G, as well as the Kitz Charity Trophy.
