solden1

Everything looks good in Sölden (Austria), at least from Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup point of view. The current conditions in on the glacier in Sölden allow them to kickoff Alpine Ski World Cup in ladies’ and men’s giant slalom on October 24th and 25th.

“Sufficient but very dry natural snow together with man-made snow is challenging the piste preparation crews. The weather forecast foresees cold temperatures on the glacier until at least middle of next week“, is reported in FIS-Ski website.

Right now the temperature in Sölden seems to be -2 Celsius degrees, and according to Sölden webcam 1, Sölden webcam 2 and Sölden webcam 3 there seems to be quite good snow in 2600 meters and 3000 meters.

First round of ladies’ giant slalom is scheduled to start on Saturday 9:45 am local time. Men’s race is scheduled to start at the same time on Sunday morning. The “white circus” has began.

Here you can see huge panorama pictures from Sölden, Austria.
