A winter storm continued to impact the FIS Alpine World Cup calendar as both the men's and women's downhill races on Saturday had to be cancelled.
The ladies were due to race in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee but poor weather conditions and heavy snowfall in Austria saw both training and the race cancelled, with both rescheduled for Sunday.
On the men's side, nearly half a metre of snowfall covering the course forced the cancellation of the Lauberhorn downhill, in Wengen.
The men will stay with their original programme for Sunday, with the slalom first and second runs scheduled for 10:30 and 13:30.
