The Alpine Skiing World Cup has experienced a significant shift, with the renowned Golden Fox relocating after six decades of hosting events at Maribor’s Pohorje. This news represents a long-considered change, finally receiving approval today. Organizers made the decision to move the competition to Ljubljana’s Šmarna gora, driven by several factors.
The recent trend of increasingly mild winters impacting Pohorje’s snow conditions has been a primary concern. Furthermore, the repeated need to relocate the competition to Kranjska Gora highlighted logistical challenges. The move also reflects a broader ambition to elevate Alpine Skiing’s prominence throughout central Slovenia.
Šmarna gora, a highly favored recreational destination within the nation, is now poised to host the Alpine Skiing competition for the very first time. Petra Vlhova’s victory marked the last Golden Fox event at pohorje. This strategic shift ensures the continuation of the competition and aims to capitalize on Šmarna gora’s appeal while addressing previous issues surrounding the moving of the event.
