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 event usually takes place in Maribor but has been moved the second year running due to a lack of snow amid mild and wet weather.
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.

Maribor – Maribor will not host the women’s alpine skiing World Cup circuit for the Golden Fox Cup for the second year running due to a lack of snow amid mild and wet weather. The two-day event will move west to Kranjska Gora again.
The organizers’ last hopes to keep the event in Maribor were dashed as FIS World Cup ladies’ technical events race director Markus Mayr inspected the race course at the foot of the Pohorje hills on Friday.
Even though he was asked to come a day later, the forecast for a drop in temperatures that would have allowed the organizers to make the piste ready to the standard failed to materialise.
