Worrying? A month and a few hours before the start of the 2023 Alpine Ski Worlds in the French resorts of Courchevel and Méribel (February 6-19), high temperatures and rain are affecting the preparation of the slopes. “ The weather had an impact. We're a little late but nothing catastrophic, explained to theAFP the manager of the Méribel track, Yannick Favières. After the big cold snap in December, we had produced 50% of the snow. We had around 70 cm of snow on the entire track, we lost almost 30 cm. We are almost a week short of production to be good and have the necessary volume of snow. There is still work to be done at the summit and on specific arrangements for competitions. » Same situation in Courchevel, where the men's competitions will take place. According to Sébastien Santon, the manager of the new Eclipse trail, there is still a lack of snow over the last 500 meters. “ This rain and these temperatures are unheard of, he admits. We still need three nights of cold"
