    PRESS RELEASE The FIS praises the “excellent” standards of the Finals and commits to bringing the World Cup back to Andorra “Now the ball’s in your court, be prepared because we’ll be back as soon as possible,” the secretary of the association confirmed They are going look for a “solution” to find a slot in their agenda so that the Avet slope can host a men’s event in the next few years Shiffrin and Hirscher have been crowned the stars of the 2019 Andorra Finals, which have brought together almost 25,000 people over the course of the week Andorra la Vella, 17 March 2019. Andorra has demonstrated that it is fully prepared to host events of a large international scale and the top management of the International Ski Federation (FIS) has witnessed this first hand. The love story with the Principality started to take shape twelve years ago when the first steps were taken to organise the World Cup here, resulting in Soldeu 2012 women’s events, as the World Cup director for men’s races, ​ Markus Waldner, recalls. The relationship was consolidated with the competitions in 2016 ​ and has grown stronger during the Finals held this week in Soldeu el Tarter de Grandvalira. ​ ​ And it seems very likely that the relationship will last for many years to come: “We’ve put ​ the ball in your court,” said Secretary General of the FIS, Sarah Lewis, who believes that ​ Andorra is prepared for them to “be back as soon as possible,” after hosting Finals that she described as “excellent”.

ZGODBO ZLATE LISICE PIŠEMO SKUPAJ Za nas Štajerce, ki smo Pohorje vedno imeli pred očmi, je Zlata lisica zmeraj pomenila najpomembnejšo športno prireditev v vsakem letu in za naše športne junakinje smo vedno srčno in glasno navijali. Na Pohorje sem se sicer vselej z največjim veseljem vračal, pa če je šlo za dnevno smučarijo, poletne priprave namiznoteniškega kluba ali pa le ob pogledu iz družinskega vinograda, ko se pred očmi za Ptujskim in Dravskim poljem razgrne v vsej mogočnosti. Čeravno sem sam zgolj rekreativni smučar in sem bil tekmovalno zapisan namiznemu tenisu, občudujem vse slovenske športnice in športnike, ki s trdim delom predano sledijo postavljenim ciljem, imajo najvišje ambicije in dosegajo izjemne rezultate v svetovnem merilu. V športu je vse jasno in običajno ni prostora za iskanje izgovorov. Podobno filozofijo gojijo tudi slovenske podjetnice in podjetniki, ki dosegajo vse boljše rezultate v globalni konkurenci. Vnaprej se veselim časa, ko si bomo tudi v oblastnih strukturah in Za to skrbimo na več načinov. Najprej s resnično neugodnih razmerah pokazati sistemskih institucijah postavili enake cilje. svojim znanjem in storitvami, usmerjenimi še posebno veliko požrtvovalnosti in Da bomo kot družba med najboljšimi na k strankam, s prepoznavanjem priložnosti predanosti, za kar se ji v NLB zahvaljujemo svetu in bomo za to trdo in predano delali, in potreb lokalnega okolja, z uspešnim in ji čestitamo. Prepričani smo, da bodo vse ne pa kot v zadnjem desetletju v glavnem poslovanjem ter s promocijo slovenskega od sebe dali tudi v njenem drugem domu, iskali bližnjice in izgovore, zakaj nam ne gospodarstva.

Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.
