Taking advantage of the freezing weather and production of artificial snow, the organizers are sure to prepare a course that will be the scene for all weekend races. A four to six kilometres long alternative course (depending on weather development) an with an alternative starting system, but the Jizerska 50 will start.
Snow-making equipment is in full play at Bedrichov these days, and simultaneously, artificial snow is continuously delivered along the entire track. In case of a favourable weather, the circuit may be made longer. Nevertheless, weather forecasts give little hope that the necessary amount of natural snow would eventually fall at Bedrichov.
