Heavy Snow Postpones Bormio Super-G
Due to dumping snow and unsafe conditions, the men’s FIS World Cup super-G in Bormio, Italy on Monday morning was postponed until Tuesday, December 29.
The announcement was expected, given that the originally scheduled downhill on Monday was preemptively switched with the super-G because of anticipated heavy snowfall. Both races on the Stelvio track will now be shifted by a day—the super-G will be on Tuesday and the downhill on Wednesday.
“No surprise!” said Marcus Waldner, the FIS Men’s World Cup Chief Race Director. “The forecast was very accurate. Already two days ago, we expected this snow. The front was coming in. The snowfall is quite heavy on the top.”
The snow is supposed to let up Monday afternoon with no precipitation forecasted for Tuesday. Erik Arvidsson, Bryce Bennett, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, Travis Ganong, Jared Goldberg, and Sam Morse will all start for the Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team with Ryan and Jared putting in some strong results in the downhill training runs. Both races will be streamed on Peacock.
