Season openings, ski pass prices, new lifts and snow from ski resorts across Europe.

So let’s get going!

Alta Badia (South Tyrolean Dolomites/Italy): Lucas Braathen is the winner of the first of the two giant slaloms in Alta Badia. No one has been able to ski along the Gran Risa slope like the 22-year-old Norwegian of Brazilian origin, who was able to climb from third position in the first run up to the top (2'36"35), to beat his compatriot Henrik Kristoffersen (who triumphed here twelve months ago, on 19 December 2021) by just two hundredths and the incredible Marco Odermatt by ten hundredths. After the first run in ninth position, the World Cup leader recovered to third position, confirming his place on the podium. Odermatt won the second giant slalom last year (20 December 2021) in Alta Badia. Second run to forget for the Slovenian athlete Zan Kranjec, in the lead after the first run and then only fifth.
