It will be followed by editions in St. Moritz, Switzerland; Innerkrems, Austria; Kranjska Gora, Slovenia; Hakuba, Japan; and the World Cup Finals which will act as the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games Test Event.

This season, French alpine skier Marie Bochet will try to retain the four women’s standing globes she won in 2015-16.

The remaining competition days at the Para Nordic skiing World Cup in Vuokatti, Finland, running until 16 December will feature live results.
