4-Hills: Preparation of the hills already in progress


Everything on track for the 4-Hills-Tournament - OC Vierschanzentournee

More than three weeks before the opening event in Oberstdorf (December 29th), it's already clear that the first highlight of the season for the ski jumpers, the 62nd 4-Hills-Tournament, can take place. The organizers announced on Thursday that there's enough snow to start preparing the hills in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen.

"We can give the all-clear at all four venues. We are already preparing the hills and are looking forward to an exciting 62nd 4-Hills-Tournament", explains Alfons Schranz (Innsbruck), president of the 4-Hills-Tournament.

The smaller hills up to a hill size of 106 are ready for training in the centers in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bischofshofen. By mid December the large hills (up to HS 140) and the Bergisel-hill in Innsbruck shall be ready as well. It is expected that the national teams of Germany and Austria will use their home hills to get in top shape for the 4-Hills-Tournament after the World Cups in Titisee-Neustadt.

"Various nations asked if it's possible to train here in order to have the best possible preparation for the 4-Hills", said Stefan Huber, CEO of the 4-Hills-Tournament and general secretary of the opening event in Oberstdorf.
