Lake Louise men’s World Cup downhill a go after 2016 cancellation
LAKE LOUISE, Alta. — The men’s World Cup downhill in Lake Louise, Alta., has been given the green light a year after warm weather wiped out the race.
FIS, the world governing body of skiing, confirmed Monday the season-opening downhill and super-G races of 2017-18 are a go for Nov. 25-26.
Approval was delayed two days after an initial snow inspection Saturday at the resort west of Calgary.
“This positive snow control is great news,” race chairman Brian Lynam said Monday. “We will be race-ready to host the world’s fastest alpine ski racers.”
