for 5./6. The women’s Matterhorn descent planned for November starting over Zermatt and ending in Cervinia (ITA) cannot take place and will be canceled without replacement.
Warm temperatures and little snow prevent the event from happening. The decision was made after a snow search of the FIS on Tuesday.
Hopes for a change in weather on the Matterhorn’s cross-border slope have been dashed. Due to excessively high temperatures and torrential rains at an altitude of more than 3000 meters above sea level, it was not possible to equip the “Gran Becca” for the race. The FIS snow control revealed that the slope in the lower area was still too weak due to the lack of snow and would have posed a safety hazard for the skiers.
“If the temperatures had been below 2-3 degrees in the past seven days, we would have had heavy snowfall to the finish line, and we would have been able to produce technical snow as well. Nature has vetoed it,” said OC President Franz Julen. and accept it.”
This means that the premiere of the newly created sprints will be completely over. Last Saturday the FIS had already planned the men’s regression from 29./30. October should pull the ripcord.
Deleted without replacement
After the season opener at Sölden’s giant slalom was called off last Saturday, patience is still required for the women. Your first chance to get World Cup points will be on November 12th with the Parallel Race at Lech/Zorse.
Matterhorn Descendants will not be rescheduled. As has almost always been the case in recent years, the sprint kicks off at Lake Louise at the beginning of December. This leaves nine departures on the calendar.
Zermatt hopes for next year
Organizers in Zermatt and Cervinia are already working to make the premiere on the Matterhorn a reality in late fall 2023, according to the media release. “We’ve been able to learn a lot in the past few weeks and months and we’re still convinced of our idea and strategy,” Julen was quoted as saying.
