Forecasted warming decisive for the moving the race from Maribor to Kranjska Gora.
Due to bad weather conditions and lack of snow on Pohorje slope in Maribor, the organisers of the Golden Fox have agreed with the organisers of the Vitranc Cup to carry out the Golden Fox on the Vitranc slope. The Podkoren racetrack has now passed the snow control of the International Ski Federation. Surprisingly high temperatures and even warmer weather forecast triggered arrangements between Maribors and Kranjska Gora's organisers of races for the World Cup in Alpine skiing. The organisers, Golden Fox Organising Committee, Branik Ski Club and company Marprom have invested all their efforts to carry out the race for the World Cup in Alpine skiing for ladies in Maribor, but the weather conditions this year simply did not allow this to happen.
Gregor Benedik, President of the Vitranc Cup OC, emphasised: "We are happy that we can come and help the people of Maribor, which shows that Slovenians can come together and with the joint efforts enable the race to stay in Slovenia." "The racetrack in Podkoren has enough snow but there is still some work to be done with consolidation of the racetrack," highlighted Ale Vidic, Vitranc Cup Race Director. Sreko Vilar, Golden Fox Secretary General, said: "Zlata Lisica will be in Slovenia and that is the most important thing. I can only sincerely thank my friends from Kranjska Gora for their support. We will do our best to make the Golden Fox in Kranjska Gora an excellent sporting event."
