Val di Fiemme doubles up. Two World Cups to be held in the Italian valley next January and the cross country and Nordic Combined specialists get ready to battle it up. Both FIS Tour de Ski and NC World Cup events were presented in Val di Fiemme last Friday, during an official press conference at the XC Stadium. Concerning the XC skiing multi-stage event, the alpine valley in Northern Italy will be once again housing the eventual stages, namely two mass start CT races on Saturday 10 January and the terrific Final Climb on the Alpe Cermis on the following day, at the end of which the new TdS champions will be crowned as Norway’s Martin Sundby and Therese Johaug were last January. The 2015 FIS Tour de Ski will commence in Oberstdorf (Germany) on 3 January. 
After the two Nordic World Ski Championships hosted in the past winter seasons, Val di Fiemme has once again been chosen as one of the venues for the Nordic Combined World Cup and in 2015 the world’s best athletes will gather up in Italy on 31 January and 1 February. A Team Sprint event is scheduled at the end of January, while the Individual Gundersen race will take place on the first day of February. Both races will ‘jump off’ the HS134 Large Hill jump in Predazzo SJ arena. 
Several side events in Val di Fiemme will be organised during both weekends in order to entertain everybody in the day and also at night. Check the complete program on www.fiemmeworldcup.com.
Along with the sport events pencilled in the approaching winter season agenda, a revolutionary snow machine was officially unveiled in last week’s presentation in Val di Fiemme. The NeveXN start-up has been entirely developed by a local engineering team who managed to create a prototype of snow cannon that produces snow at…high temperatures, up to 15°C plus avoiding chemical additives.
