Overview
- FIS president Johan Eliasch says preparations are advancing very well and should be completed on time one month before the Feb. 6–22 Games.
- Recent low temperatures boosted snow farming and snowmaking at key sites including Cortina d’Ampezzo, Livigno, Bormio and Val di Fiemme.
- Organisers have technical resources in place with reserve days built into schedules to absorb heavy snowfall or other weather disruptions.
- IOC executive Christophe Dubi reports growing confidence after recent test events, with Milan’s Santagiulia Arena opening this week to host ice hockey after a one‑month delay.
- Snow production for Livigno’s snowboard and freestyle courses resumed after a technical hitch, and Eliasch advocates a future rotation of high‑altitude, snow‑secure hosts to improve sustainability.
