Heavy winds force revamp of Mammoth Mountain programme
[ad_1]
While qualification phases for all women’s events were succesfully completed on Thursday at the FIS Snowboard and Freeski World Cup events at Mammoth Mountain (USA, heavy, gusty winds wreaked havoc with the competition program here on Friday, and qualifications for men’s snowboard halfpipe, snowboard slopestyle, and freeski slopestyle were all called off due to the weather.
With Saturday originally slated to see finals for all three of those events, a huge reshuffle of the programme by officials and organizers was necessary, and after meetings on Friday afternoon a new schedule has been established for the weekend – where we expect to see much more competition-friendly weather.
Saturday morning will now open with men’s snowboard slopestyle qualifications at 9:30 PST, to be followed immediately by women’s and men’s finals at 13:00. Then, on Saturday afternoon, we’ll repeat the process for snowboard halfpipe, with men’s qualifications beginning at 17:30, followed women’s and men’s finals at 20:00.
