Junior-FM on skis moving to February – Swedish YLE

Junior-FM on skis move to the middle of feberuari. The competition is organized by Köukar ski center.

FIS race committee ruled the new date at its meeting on Friday. The competition is organized February 14 to 15.

– Good that we got to know the date, but it grieves little to district championships and FSSM determined simultaneously, says race director Heikki Haapala.

The competition should have been held over the weekend, 3-4 January but because the snow melted during the New Year, prepared in this contest.

For the organizers, a move of the races both extra trouble and expense.

Artificial snow

If it gets thoroughly with cold days before the races are also able to produce artificial snow. That possibility did not exist before this weekend, because there were too few of days with temperatures below freezing.

The high humidity of the coast requires ten degrees below zero for manufacturing.

The application period for the Junior-FM is extended to 05.02.2015 at 16.00. The old notifications in force, unless they are canceled.
