Good news for the Ladies Critérium!
Yesterday's snow control was positive on the OK and Orange slopes. Same observation for the Face de Bellevarde three days ago, while there is a good quantity of snow, work still remains to refine the snow quality. The snow must be hardened to reach the standards of the International Ski Federation. Nothing insurmountable, far from it for the organizers, the Sports Club, the snow making team and ski patrol. Barring any unseen weather circumstances,the ladies will compete in a Super G and a downhill on December 16 and 17 at La Daille.
