April? Is that a snow race?

Seriously, we need to have that gap that always occurs at the beginning of the season filled with some races. Toss in another in September.

Sounds like a good lineup otherwise.

being uninformed, from the land of eternal snow and not even be able to just type "temperature april lourdes" into google are no excuses for asking stupid questions

I fvckin' hate the fact, that they race in Leogang, due to the money.
Get the hell back to Schladming!

The rest seems legit.

Especially Val di sole. Home sweet home.

they race anywhere due to the money. no money, no race. it really is that simple.

Lourdes looks decent enough, no shortage of rocks.

its going to be some contrast from the usual pilgrim crowd there race weekend.

Exactly

Plus, I had not had my morning coffees at that point. My bad! Next time I will break out the atlas.

I know, but they chose Leogang for the more of money they have. That's what I got in a German forum.
Not that Schladming hasn't any money...

Also: XCE is out!
Get Dual Slalom in there!

schladming likely has the money, they just need to decide to spend it - and then submit a hosting bid.

Who cares about schladming. That Lourdes track looks f-ing sick. *sigh*, why can't we have those kinds of trails in the U.S.

Any videos of the Lenzerheide track?

Just came home from a race in Lenzerheide (Trek Bike Attack, endurance dh like Megavalanche) and what I saw from the track was nice but looked to much like a flow trail. There is a nice rockgarden but too many big berms for my taste. But like I said I just saw it from the lift and I try to ride in the next few weeks.
