Review of the season

In the previous season, the races in Beaver Creek were strongly influenced due to extreme weather conditions, such as strong wind and snowfall. For example, the departure on December 2, 2022 had to be canceled due to bad weather. However, the departure and the Super-G took place on the following day, with Aleksander Aamodt kilding the Super-G, while Romed Baumann took eighth place.

The competition will certainly be felt by the younger athletes who are increasingly stronger this season. The quick handling of the World Cup races in Beaver Creek, which took place from November 29 to December 4, 2022, characterized the even level of performance and the exciting competitions, despite the challenges that the weather made. Eurosport transferred the events live on television.

The tension before the race in Sun Valley is great, both for the athletes themselves and for the spectators who can hope for a gripping competition. Thomas Tumler will have to position his start to meet the great expectations, while Marco Odermatt focuses on his last chance this season.

The remarkable appearances of the athletes of the past few days and the constant unpredictability of the weather conditions ensure that the last World Cup of the season will be a highlight for both the participants and the audience. While the Austrian gentlemen continue to wait for over a year for over a year, the fans look at the upcoming race in Sun Valley.
