Snowy start to Kandahar race weekend
Two downhill and super combined

With the deferred Val Gardena downhill today, another downhill race tomorrow and the super combined on Sunday it's going to a great Kandahar weekend here in Chamonix.

Crowds arrived yesterday to see Didier Cuche take the podium in the downhill training 

A snowy start to the races today with a low lying cloud which should vanish by the middle of the day making way to a brisk & sunny weekend. 
It's reconnaissance time this morning for the downhill skiers and then the race starts at midday, the awards ceremony happens at 6pm in Chamonix.
The apres-race activities kicked off last night with DJ Meuh on the Place du Mont Blanc and it is rumoured local musician André Manoukian will be making a guest appearance this weekend.

If you are lucky enough to be in Chamonix this weekend then pop down to Les Houches where there are a number of spectator areas; if you are on skis then just take either the Prarion or the Bellevue cable car to get up top or if you are on foot then there is a big screen at the arrival line.
