News on Fis-ski.com indicates Soelden’s World Cup track is almost ready for its October races—the first of the season.
“We have already twice as much snow now on the glacier than last year at the same time,” Ernst Lorenzi, Chief of Press of the Soelden World Cup Opening, told writer Patrick Lang. The opening is set for October 26th – 28th – 2007.
“I visited the site earlier this week and I can tell you that there’s over a meter snow now at the start of the race course situated at 3,050 meters, half a meter at the end of the steep pitch and 30 cm at the finish at 2,690 meters,” Lorenzi added. “We could almost hold the races this weekend. In fact we have been working hard on the slope since the first main snowfalls on September 7th. The course is hard packed and really nice to ski.”
