Weather is as expected changing and the fog is causing some issues for the skiers, while warm temperatures are causing some worries for the organizers. On the other hand, there is still plenty of time left to cover the lower third of the race course. At the moment the most important thing is all teams are ready and five Maribor hotels are expecting their arrival.

The bubble includes race tent on Trikotna jasa and following hotel: Hotel Arena, Hotel Draš, Hoptel Bau, Hotel Tabor and Hotel City. Safety comes first and maximum focus is placed on providing all safety measures and precautions.
