The 2014 World Cup week under the Langkofel mountain had it all: high temperatures and lack of snowfalls already compromised the World Cup calendar in the Alps this season so far; the Val Gardena/Gröden OC was worried and had to put everything in motion to be able to stage the Downhill and Super-G races on the Saslong.
