Alpine Skiing World Cup – Opening Soon With Mens GS In Sölden

Winter is coming here in Finland and I am just waiting for the snow. We recently received the first snow but it melted after a few hours. We are still far from opening the ski season. Well, I just need to sit and wait.

While reading and waiting for the winter to come, I must remember that the Alpine Skiing World Cup will open soon in Sölden, Austria. In just a bit more than a week, I will see guys riding down the Super G track. I am eager to see how Kalle Palander will ski. He represents my country and I wish him good luck. That’s actually what he is going to need. I don’t believe he has a chance at winning. Nonetheless, it should be Kalle’s primary goal.

As I already mentioned, the Alpine Skiing World Cup will soon open in Sölden, Austria. The second race will be held in Levi, Finland. Man, I would like to go and see it live but I am not sure if I can make it. Levi is a pretty small resort compered to those in the Alps but it seems to be big enough for slalom. After Levi the Alpine Skiing World Cup race continues in Lake Louise, Canada. It is going to be an interesting cup again, especially with the women. In my opinion, Finland has more chances in the ladies cup. Just take a look at how Tanja Poutiainen has been doing compared to the rivals.

If you are interested in following the cup, download the ladies’ race calendar and men’s race calendar to know when and where the races will be held.
