LAKE LOUISE, Alberta — The women’s World Cup downhill was canceled Saturday because of heavy snow and shifting winds that caused poor visibility.
Officials decided the conditions “were too variable and there was no guarantee that things were going to improve,” said Jim Brewington, the chief of race.
The decision to scrub the second women’s downhill of the season was made after the original start time was delayed about 90 minutes. It’s the first time since 1995 that weather forced cancellation of a World Cup downhill at Lake Louise.
A super-giant slalom race is scheduled for today, but Brewington said weather conditions could be similar.
