Garmisch Concentrating on “Kandahar” World Championships Run For 2011-12.

There's either an Alpine skiing world championships or a winter Olympics three years out of every four, so winter 11-12, when there isn't either, is the kind of rare one-year-in-four when no international competition takes place.
However Vancouver will still be talking about the 2010 games and Schladming, Sochi and Vail/Beaver Creek will be looking forward to their 2013, 2014 and 2015 events no doubt.
But the most recent host of a the Alpine Skiing World Championships was Garmisch Partenkirchen in Germany earlier this year and they intend to capitalise on it in the coming winter.
"Our main focus for the 2011/12 season is the championship run "Kandahar". It was partly remodelled and enlarged for the world championships last winter and will be open for everybody the next season. Every skier has the chance to challenge himself on this spectacular run." said a resort spokeswoman.
Garmisch's Zugspitze ski area, the country's highest, usually opens the first weekend in November and is open until the first of May. Garmisch-Classic opens in mid-December until the end of Easter Holidays (15. April 2012) (all dates depending on the snow situation).
