No doubt the early season competitions and increase changing patterns associated with climate change, are behind this decision to hold early season indoor world cup events indoors. The first event will be held at Snowworld at Landgraaf in Holland, the International Ski Federation (FIS) is expanding the number of events to be staged on indoor snow this season, with venues in France and Germany added to the now regular Dutch fixture.
Europa Cup Slalom competitions will be staged between November 4th and 7th, first at France’s only indoor ski centre at Amneville, then at Snoworld Landgraaf in Holland and finally at Neuss in Germany.
Landgraaf will again hold Snowboard World Cup Parallel Slalom events on 10th and 11th October.

International FIS (International Ski Federation) sanctioned competitions for the 2007-8 European and World Cup kicked off in the Netherlands and Germany last month, both indoors at SnowWorld in Landgraaf in Holland and Bottrop in Germany. A new three-run slalom event was successfully staged, rather than the conventional two-run event.
The four slalom events were conducted as three-run slaloms, with the first two runs raced according to the normal slalom rules (and valid for FIS points) but then only the top 30 raced the third and final run. Competition in the third run started from null, with no time advantages from the FIS races carrying over.
“We are very pleased with these first trials of the three-run slalom format. Along with technical prowess, it also requires considerable concentration and tactical skill from the athletes,” said Janez Flere, coordinator for the women’s FIS Europa Cup tour. “I look forward to a first outdoor trial of this format, perhaps next season somewhere together with the men’s European Cup.”
