A delegation of key FIS officials are spending this week in PyeongChang (KOR) as part of an official inspection for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Race Directors from Alpine, Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding are all on site to view the progress made on the Olympic venues and work closely with the PyeongChang Organising Committee (POCOG) and Gangwon Province who is handling the construction projects to determine the tasks to be accomplished.

For the three disciplines, the visit is especially crucial as the first official Test Events will be staged during the upcoming season in Korea.

The men’s Audi FIS Alpine World Cup will travel to Korea and hold a downhill and super-G race on the new Jeongseon course on 6^th-7^th February, 2016.
