02

The mystery stays covered

Its early-January date, often the season's first major technical race, gives it outsized significance for skiers setting an early competitive tone

03

The city starts moving

The contrast with the nearby Lauberhorn downhill, speed against precision, gives fans following both races within the same alpine region a genuinely different kind of ski racing to watch within days of each other
