On New Year's Eve, the Tour de Ski starts in Switzerland, Germany and Italy.
But now the organizer has encountered a problem with too little snow.
Due to the lack of snow, the organizer is now forced to make a change.
It is the second stage, on New Year's Day in Val Müstair, that changes from a chase start to a mass start.
However, the stage is still ten kilometers long for both women and men.
Tour de Ski begins on New Year's Eve and runs until January 8 next year.
The classic ski competition is organized in the resorts of Val Müstair, Switzerland, Oberstdorf, Germany, and Val di Fiemme, Italy.
