Another training run is scheduled for Friday at the Canadian resort in the Rocky Mountains with the first downhill of the season set for Saturday followed by a Super G on Sunday.

Training runs scheduled for Wednesday were cancelled after heavy snowfall and warmer temperatures made the course too soft.

FIS said overnight rain made it hard to assure a safe training run on Thursday and that the inention was to preserve the track for Friday's last chance for an official downhill training.
