Hi All,

I'll be in ST Anton on Sunday :) but I didn't know about the race when I booked. Does it effect the skiing much? Does anyone know which runs will be closed?
Thanks

The races will be on the Karl Schranz piste from top of Kapall down through Gampen area and into the village. I think it is a Red/Black piste.

I haven't actually been to a resort where a big race has been on but I think it usually only affects the run itself and possibly some restrictions on the lift up to it.

St Anton is so big it shouldn't present any real difficulties :D.

On the plus side, the Apres Ski should be particularly spectacular with huge crowds in for the races and plenty of extremely fit young ladies around if that's of any interest to you :lol: :lol: :lol:


BTW, the current snow report is showing the snow as "perfect" :mrgreen: Enjoy -)

We happened to be in St. Anton one year and watched Chemmy - it was really exciting. The general skiing wasn't affected and we even watched for free at the bottom of the slope.

We will be in St Anton on Saturday watching the first legs. Vonn is making a comeback from injury.
I just love the gravitational pull
