Kranjska Gora – The Slovenian ski resort of Kranjska Gora will host over the weekend two Alpine Ski World Cup giant slalom events for women in what will be the 57th Golden Fox meet.

The alternative venue, which holds the Vitranc Cup for men in March, will see Slovenia represented by Meta Hrovat, Tina Robnik, Ana Bucik, Neja Dvornik, Andreja Slokar and Ilka Štuhec, who is best-known for her successes in the downhill.
