The Stifel Birds of Prey Audi FIS Ski World Cup at Colorado‘s Beaver Creek is officially on following a positive snow control on Tuesday, November 25th. The event starts on Thursday, December 4th, with free live music, before the first race on Friday, December 5th.
Friday will feature the men’s Downhill, Saturday the men’s Super-G, and Sunday the men’s Giant Slalom. The extra Downhill originally scheduled for Thursday has been removed to focus on the three classic races, but Thursday’s live music will still start at 12pm and there will still be back-to-back showings of Warren Miller’s SNO-CIETY.
Snow control is conducted 10 days before the official arrival day for speed events and 7 days before the official arrival day for technical events. The checks are done to ensure that there’s enough snow for the race to go on safely. In the past, races that don’t pass snow control have been cancelled or postponed.
Attending the event at Beaver Creek is free, but VIP packages are available for those who are looking to elevate their experience.
