Next Alpine skiing World Cup stop in Austria pushed back

An Alpine skiing World Cup stop in Austria has been postponed from next week to Thanksgiving weekend due to lack of snow and high temperatures.

Women’s and Men’s parallel races in Lech/Zuers, originally scheduled for Nov. 13-14, will now be Nov. 26-27.

The next World Cup competition is now back-to-back women’s slaloms in Levi, Finland, from Nov. 21-22. That’s expected to mark Mikaela Shiffrin‘s season debut after she skipped the Oct. 17 opening giant slalom in Soelden, Austria, with a back injury.

The World Cup was previously impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, skipping annual stops in the U.
