Webber secured a permanent place in the World Cup last winter and achieved an overall Super G rank in the European Cup.

Last Sunday Urs Krienbühl caused great concern. Reason: Schweizer is on the World Cup starting list in Super-G at 27th place. Had the Super-G held as planned in Lake Louise, the 27-year-old would have dropped out of the first group.

But bad weather in Canada’s Rocky Mountains has helped “Ürsel”, which has so far refused to be vaccinated against Covid. Due to the failure of the Super-G at Lake Louise, he remains in the top 30 in the discipline and can expect favorable numbers at Beaver Creek this week.

And because a descent from Lake Louise to Beaver Creek has been postponed due to heavy snowfall, Krienbühl and his unaffiliated friend from eastern Switzerland, Ralph Weber (28), lost not three as feared, but only one race. “Actually, a lot has gone in our favor,” Krienbuhl says. “Not only canceling at Lake Louise is good for us. We were allowed to train on a very steep slope at Cooper Mountain. I have heard our teammates at Lake Lewis at their training camp in Nakiska see the snow conditions as much Didn’t get as good as we did in Colorado,” says Weber.

and from Cooper Mountain, both require only 40 minutes by car to Beaver Creek, where Wednesdays are the program’s only training on select “Birds of Prey.”
