Concerns over Winter Olympics skiing snow levels

The president of the International Ski Federation (FIS) has raised concerns about the snow levels for the skiing competitions at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

Johan Eliasch cited delays in the production of artificial snow as a result of the Italian government’s release of funds for organisers.

The Winter Olympics in February will take place in Livigno Snow Park and Aerials and Moguls Park.

Remo Galli, the mayor of Livigno, clarified the concerns and claimed that a technical issue was to blame for the delays.

“We’ll have the snow we need for a fantastic Olympics,” he declared. We’ll actually have a lot more, Galli told the Italian news agency Ansa.

“All the snow guns have been operating for a few evenings,” says the spokesperson. “A valve replacement was necessary.

The locations in Livigno must have a lot of artificial snow to make the jumps and halfpipes necessary for snowboarding and freestyle skiing competitions.

Eliasch called the funding problems “inexplicable”

But I sincerely hope everything turns out. He continued, “We have a plan B, a plan C, and a plan D.”

We’re unfortunate to find ourselves in a precarious situation. They are called “morning, noon, and night” three times throughout the day.
