Erciyes-Kaseri
Aug 31, 2018·Snowboard Alpine
Kayseri celebrated its debut as a World Cup host last season facing some very tough conditions as racers had to deal with some very heavy fog during the competition.
However, looking back on a successful World Cup debut back in February 2016, Local Organisers are ready for their third consecutive event.
After having staged the PGS World Cup finals last year, the race on the Kültepe slope slated to take place on March 3 will this time serve as first possibility for the 2018 Olympic champions to go for the podium with a new title under their belt.

VENUE SITE
Located at the foot of the extinct volcano Mount Erciyes that towers 3,916 m over the city it's explicable that the actual venue site is the Erciyes Ski Centre situated on the West face of the highest mountain in Central Anatolia.
The resort itself might be small as compared to international standards but offers already a total of some 45 km of skiing slopes between 1,800 to 3,000 metres in altitude as well as the longest chair lift operated in Turkey.
In addition, local authorities share the dream of converting the mountain into a new Davos and extend the trail map up to 160 km of interconnected slopes making the Ercyies Ski Centre the largest non-stop skiing area of Turkey.
