FISTC European Championship Sprint 2014 - Auronzo di Cadore (I)


Dear Mushers,

The cataclysmic weather conditions in Auronzo, where singe Friday they got over 4meters fresh snow and it wil continue snowing probably the whole week, lead us to cancel the race this week-end.

First of all most roads are closed and it is extremely difficult and dangerous to try to reach Palus san Marco (Auronzo).

Secondly, the stake-out and trails that were ready and perfect last Wednesday are under the snow and it becomes too difficult to prepare a good race under these conditions.

We are trying to reorganise the race for the 21-22-23 of February.

We apologise for the inconvenience, but  the whole area has been declared yesterday evening under status of Natural Disaster and the Army is trying to help the population. Actually there are also water and electricity problems for the local population. 


The FISTC Board.
