»Racecourse in Podkoren is ready! Racers can test it tomorrow« announced Chief of Courses Andrej Rečnik alongside his counterpart at Pokal Vitranc, Aleš Vidic, who offered team support  and a helpful hand to Maribor organizers.

Srečko Vilar, General Secretary of Organizing Committee informed Skaardal in Zagreb: »Everything is ready for 54. Golden Fox«.

Tomorrow at 9.30 races will have a chance to free ski and test the racecourse in Podkoren. Draw of bib numbers will take place during team captains meeting in the afternoon at Bled, where all competitors are accommodated.

First Giant slalom run is scheduled on Saturday at 09.30 with finals starting at 12.15. Same starting times apply for Slalom race on Sunday.

Even though organizers needed to forgo most accompanying events in Kranjska Gora, which were initially planned for Maribor, visitors will be well taken care of. Band Frajkinclarji will entertain the visitors between both giant slalom runs and Saška Lendero will perform during slalom runs.  

Access to finish area will be limited to vehicles with a special parking pass, therefore it is best to park your car in Kranjska Gora or Podkoren on parking areas marked with information boards. Police and security personnel will direct traffic and parking.

Skiers wanting to access Velika dolina (Podkoren 2) will need to pass from Podkoren area to Rateče,  turning back on Planica road by following bicycle lane all the way to Velika dolina.
