Fog Scrubs Garmisch Super G

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany – Thick fog blanketed the Kandahar speed track in Garmisch-Partenkirchen forcing the jury to cancel the Audi FIS Alpine World Cup super G scheduled for Sunday. It was the second super G canceled in a week after the Kitzbuehel, Austria race was also scrapped due to weather.

The men’s World Cup tour moves to Chamonix, France for two downhills and a super combined. The Kitzbuehel race has been rescheduled by the International Ski Federation (FIS) for Crans-Montana, Switzerland, on Feb. 24. The Garmisch super G is currently reset for Kvitfjell, Norway on March 2, but that date could be used if the weather continues to deteriorate in Chamonix and that downhill needs to be rescheduled. Heavy snowfall in the French Alps has already canceled two downhill training days in Chamonix, so the probability that the Chamonix race will need to be moved to Kvitfjell appears high.
