The start of the first run was initially postponed by an hour, but shortly afterwards the race was canceled entirely.

There had been precipitation during the night, and the rain continued in the morning.

It was also very foggy along the route.

"Due to the current weather conditions and the forecasts, the jury and the local organizing committee have decided to cancel today's women's giant slalom," the statement said.

The men's giant slalom is planned for Sunday on the Rettenbachferner.

Better weather is announced by then.
