Canada will be hosting a season-end World Cup tour in 2016. An exciting development for North American skiing, the proposal cleared yet another hurdle at the International Ski Federation’s (FIS) 2014 Congress in Barcelona, Spain after receiving a set program.
While a plan to host a 2016 World Cup in New York City was quickly dismissed when USSA withdrew its bid for the event last week, there is still a possibility that the international racing circuit could come to the Big Apple in the future.
Changes are coming to the FIS World Cup schedule in the 2014/2015 season. The schedule was confirmed at the 2014 FIS Congress held in Barcelona, Spain, which concluded Friday June 6th. There were also some exciting new developments for North American skiers as the FIS Congress added the Tour du Canada to conclude the 2015/2016 season.
When the International Ski Federation (FIS) Congress began Sunday in Barcelona, Spain, there was a lot to go over. Not only was the international-racing circuit speculated to come back to North America in the 2015/2016 season, but there was also talk of a World Cup being held in Central Park, New York City.
