snowmatic Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) FIS next season PAR events / race dates have been fixed the last week. All of them (10 races?) are again on Continental Europe only. December 2014 13./14. - PGS/TBC - Carezza - Italia - (1745-2050m/5720-6720ft) January 2015 10./11. - PSL(?) - Bad Gastein - Austria - (1002m/3290ft) 22./24. - PSL/PGS - Kreischberg - Austria - (868m/2850ft) - Worldchampionships 31. - PGS(?) - Sudelfeld - Germany - (1035-1235m/3400-4050ft) February 2015 07./08. - PGS/PSL - Rogla - Slovenia - (1340-1490m/4400-4890ft) 14. - PSL - Winterberg - Germany - (630-820m/2060-2690ft) March 2015 07. - PSL - Moscow - Russia 15. - PGS/TBC - La Molina - España - (1655m/5430ft) PSL= parallel slalom PGS= parallel giant slalom TBC= team event (national) announced here Kreischberg World championships is combined now for fist time with freeskiing - so no more pure snowboarding World championships anymore. FIS snowboard makes again the same mistakes for PAR events 2014/15 like last season. They go to lower resorts which are not proof against global warming. (rain in Rogla last Year) While higher Arosa (2005-2309m/6580-7580ft) March 20.-22. (PAR/SBX) disappeared now from draft, lower ski areas are joining the event-list. We will see what happens. After low/bad snow desaster of Bad Gastein January 2014 where WC riders are riding slope conditions never ever sawn since FIS was holding races, we can hope for an upcomming winter which is less warm than 2013/14. But if global warming proceed (we had several glacier lossing a massive length of 1100-2200 Yards on Continent Europe / Alps last summer) resorts like Kreischberg (AUT) 868m/2850ft and Winterberg (GER) 630m/2060ft will fail, like Jauerling hill did last season. Even Sudelfeld (Ger) 1035/3400ft which is investing now $ 60'000'000 to a new lake and 300 snow machines for artifical snow and some new chairlifts, would not be able to use snowmakers if temperature is above 30F. Even if $ 20'000'000 are subventions from German State and EFRE European Community it doesn't help for freezing.

snowmatic Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 There is a wide area and serious lack of snow problem around the European Alps. Because of missing temperatures lower than frezzing level, snowmakers had not been capable to let it snow. Until Yesterday near to all ski-resorts below 7000 ft. had been of brown color, instead of all-white. FIS has shifted as first SBX Worldcup event to upcomming weekend. Now it's cancelled. FIS shifted today the first race PGS Carezza (Italy) from December 13th. to December 16th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
