"Despite all the efforts on the track, heavy snowfall overnight has made the slope unsafe to race. Today's Men's Super G in Courchevel has therefore been cancelled and will not be replaced."
"Courchevel saw 30 cm (12 inches) of snowfall in the last 24 hours. FIS announced the cancellation on social media, citing excessive snowfall on the course and safety concerns for athletes. Race organizers had initially hoped to run two Super-G races in Courchevel as part of the men's Alpine World Cup schedule, but persistent snowfall and difficult course conditions prevented officials from preparing the slope to the required standard."
"With the second race officially called off on Sunday, March 15, the 2025-26 season Super-G title was mathematically secured by Marco Odermatt of Switzerland, who claims the discipline's Crystal Globe. The Swiss star has dominated the discipline in recent years and continues to cement his place as the leading speed skier on the men's World Cup circuit."
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation canceled both men's Super-G races scheduled in Courchevel, France due to excessive snowfall and unsafe course conditions. The resort received 30 cm of snow in 24 hours, making slope preparation impossible to required standards. Despite organizers' efforts, the persistent snowfall prevented safe competition. The cancellations resulted in Marco Odermatt of Switzerland mathematically clinching the Super-G Crystal Globe title before the final races could occur. Odermatt's consistency throughout the season secured the discipline lead. The downhill race was rescheduled from Saturday to Friday and completed, with Vincent Kriechmayr winning and Odermatt finishing third.
