The Alpine Ski World Cup in Soelden has passed the “Snow Control”; the competition slope will be in top condition and ready to receive the best skiers in the World.

Today, the two FIS Race Directors, Markus Mayr and Janez Hladnik, gave the green light for the World Cup opening on the 22nd and 23rd of October.

The snow control took place in the presence of Mario Reiter (ÖSV), the Chief of Race Isidor Grüner, and the Race Director Rainer Gstrein. The five men were satisfied and thrilled about the upcoming week.

ÖSV Sponsoring Division Manager, Mario Reiter, was delighted about this: “What the Bergbahnen Sölden and the Organisers have achieved in the slope is sensational. From today's point of view, everything is perfectly prepared, and as the forecasts currently stand, it will be a great race weekend."
