Ski Austria (‘ÖSV’), the Austrian federal skiing body, has confirmed that after the positive ‘snow control’ today, March 7, 2024, the International Ski & Snowboard Federation (‘FIS’) has given the green light for the FIS Alpine World Cup Finals at Saalbach in Austria. Snow control for FIS races is an inspection of the conditions on a World Cup race course prior to a race to ensure the course is prepared according to FIS standards and is safe for World Cup athletes to compete on. The FIS Alpine World Cup Finals will be held on two weekends, March 16-17, as well as March 22-24.
