The Telemark World Cup stage and Junior World Championships, scheduled for March 6–10 at Stari Vrh, Slovenia, have been cancelled. Organizers made this decision because the resort lacks sufficient snow. Mild temperatures and moderate rainfall prevented natural snow accumulation, which is essential for safe competition.
Weather Challenges Across Europe
Many ski events across Europe face similar problems. Unusually warm temperatures have reduced snow coverage, forcing some resorts to cancel competitions. Others have had to rely on artificial snow to maintain their events. These conditions create challenges for athletes, organizers, and fans alike.
FIS Exploring Alternative Options
The FIS Telemark committee is actively looking for alternative locations and dates to hold the Junior World Championships later in March. They aim to ensure athletes still have a chance to compete under safe and fair conditions. The committee has not finalized a new venue yet, but updates will be provided as soon as possible.
Stay Updated with Official Channels
Fans, athletes, and teams should follow official FIS channels for the latest information. Social media, official websites, and email notifications will announce any rescheduled dates or venue changes. Spectators planning to travel should monitor local updates for accommodations and travel arrangements.
Looking Ahead
Although the cancellation is disappointing, organizers remain committed to creating a safe and exciting championship experience. They continue to monitor snow conditions and explore options to host the event in a suitable location. Fans can expect further announcements soon.
