European winter skiing season preparations

Overview

Preparations for the upcoming winter skiing season are underway across Europe. In Slovenia, the Slovenian Ski Association previewed its competitive lineup, noting that the season will officially begin in Sölden, Austria, on October 24 and 25. While some athletes focus on the giant slalom, others will prioritize the slalom season opener in Levi, Finland, due to training conditions.

In Italy, the Ski College Veneto announced updates to its technical staff and highlighted its academic-athletic partnership for its 70 athletes. Meanwhile, in Sölden, organizers are addressing concerns regarding low snow levels on the Rettenbach glacier through snowfarming techniques, using 60,000 cubic meters of preserved snow. An official FIS snow control inspection is scheduled for October 15 to verify conditions ahead of the World Cup races.
