Checking the venue The expected venue for the next round of the semi-finals is Shadows. Weather permitting, competitors will get the green light to board helicopters and ski the peak, which sits just outside the ski area boundary. The finish line is where the run reenters the boundary. Conditions are currently cloudy and overcast, with flat light and low visibility according to Mountain Sports International organizer, Adam Comey. We're going to wait a while longer, but if it doesn't clear up, everybody is going to go freeskiing today.
Organizers have seven days in which to pull off three days of heli-accessed freeskiing competition.
Four weather days will allow them to wait for optimal flying and skiing conditions.
