Snowboard cross WCup canceled due to lack of snow
By Associated Press
BAD GASTEIN, Austria (AP) - Organizers have called off the Jan. 15 men's and women's World Cup snowboard cross event on the Bucheben course because of a lack of snow.
The Austrian ski federation says that weeks of relatively warm weather avoided "the production of sufficient snow to build a course suitable for a World Cup cross."
According to the federation, it's not immediately clear when and where the races will be rescheduled.
