The track is the "Levi Black", we start from an altitude of 438m to arrive at an altitude of 258, with a vertical drop of 180m. The important novelty of this season about the prize for the winners, which will be particular, in addition to the usual allowance money with cups attached: it is, in fact, a ... Reindeer, which then deviously in Lapland, but which will be called just after the skier and ski racer before the finish line and that can be visited in any circumstance, if the athlete'' he wanted to.
The track is complete, it includes a little'' all the technical elements, from the floor to the steep, and since last year has been somewhat modified with the'' new'' adding bumps especially on the plans. You have to change the type of skiing in the various parts: maybe the slalom'' is a bit easier for men, it seems altogether normal for women, since there are more simple. Lightweight slope at the start, then long mostly flat, 20'' -25'''''', with new speed bumps, as mentioned, and the doors positioned precisely on the bumps themselves, so here's the wall with the'' only real change of slope, usually introduced by a "long" (the figure, then), to finally close with the final shelf enriched with other bumps. '' We'll find out later this year if something has changed yet.
A Levi is already very cold these days, with temperatures in some cases ... its polar! The Swiss team avedrà the return of Wendy Holdener, after breaking his arm, and Denise Feierabend, who competed in March 2012 for a knee injury.
Among males, there will be experts Markus Vogel and Marc Gini and then the younger Luke Aerni, Ramon Zenhaeusern, Justin Murisier, Reto Schmidiger and Daniel Yule (average under 21 years old) looking especially the qualification to the second round.
