    According to FIS headquarters, high winds on the Solaise mountain prevented snow from adhering to the top sections of the downhill course. The two races will now be held on the same schedule at St Moritz, Switzerland.
    Organizers at Val d’Isere will now focus on preparations for the men’s World Cup events in eary February on the nearby Bellevard mountain, the same course that hosted the 1992 Olympic events.
