Feuerstein Skiraid: Postponed race will be rescheduled for Sunday, February 17th

However, the heavy snowfall thwarted the organizers' plans and the race had to be postponed at short notice. The new date has now been set: The race will take place on Sunday, February 17th and will be held as a FISI race and national championship, presumably on the original route.

Everything was ready Everything was prepared for the 3rd Feuerstein Skiraid, but last weekend's heavy snowfall meant no competition was possible for logistical and traffic reasons as well as for safety reasons. Not even the short-term change to the route ensured that the race could be carried out; too much fresh snow fell in the Pflerschtal.

On February 17th, the race will be counted as a FISI race and national championship, but no longer as an Italian Cup stage. The organizers are confident that the new date will make it possible to hold the event on the spectacular original route in the high mountains of the Pfler Mountains. OC manager Stefanie De Simone unhappy with the decision OC boss Stefanie De Simone on this decision: “For almost a week we waited for confirmation of our request to reschedule the race as the Italian Cup on February 17.02th. waited. Only then did the national commission give us an unexpectedly negative answer, based on an agreement made in September last year not to accept requests for amendments, even if they were due to force majeure, in order to avoid overlaps with competitions already planned and listed in the calendar avoid. Incomprehensible in a winter in which almost no races could take place across Italy due to the lack of snow, and difficult to understand for everyone who organizes and knows competitive ski mountaineering, and knows that the only one, on this same day existing overlap, is very different from a one-day individual competition,” says De Simone with little understanding of the decision. “Despite everything, we have decided that we do not want to miss all the enthusiastic athletes and especially our young people a race in a breathtaking environment, with fantastic snow conditions and prepared with all our passion for this sport,” concludes De Simone.
