WHISTLER CREEKSIDE (Feb. 16) - Due to heavy snowfall throughout the night and soft snow conditions on the lower part of the Dave Murray downhill, the men's super combined medal event scheduled for Tuesday has been postponed. No immediate word is available on a possible reschedule.

A second women's downhill training run was also canceled. However, the women's downhill medal event can go ahead as planned for Wednesday since women completed an official downhill training run on Monday. Only one completed run by all competitors is required in order to start a race.

Tignes, France, for almost-year-round skiing

By Roberto Bell

Tignes is an ideal destination for all skiers since it is formed of no less than five ski areas, both at the bottom and at the top of the valley. The areas are : Les Boisses, Val Claret, Le Lac, Le Lavachet, and Les Brevieres. The slopes are sometimes very busy but never crowded, and because of all the ski slopes available, skiers always get to enjoy their own space.
