Well, this isn’t what I had planned. But due to lack of snow in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the women’s World Cup races there have been cancelled. So with less than a week before race events commence, I find myself scrambling to track down lodging in a booked-solid Kitzbühel, Austria for what is undoubtedly the most celebrated race stop on the World Cup circuit – the Hahnenkamm!
I will miss seeing the women race but this is an exciting turn of events and am looking forward to watching the range of disciplines (super-g, slalom and of course, downhill), intense race course and fervent crowds. Perhaps sharing these vintage hotel labels will help channel a vacant room my way! If you have any recommendations or tips for this resort town, please do share. . .
