Here is the reply to your query from our man on the bottom in Milan, Simon Smale:

Briefly, sure.

Initially, some solar may also help to scale back friction on the skis.

Nevertheless, an excessive amount of solar can flip the snow too comfortable which slows it down.

“Corn” snow is when snow refreezes after being melted a bit which may make the circumstances fairly grippy and quick.

However, when there’s no solar or a little bit of mist it’s termed “flat mild” which makes it laborious to see bumps and elevation modifications which may have an effect on a run.

Additionally, because the competitors goes on, snow can get carved up in corners which makes it laborious to search out your personal line – though that’s extra of a problem within the talent occasions (slalom and big slalom).

“I do not know why I simply cannot have it straightforward and land the primary time, however perhaps I wish to preserve individuals on their toes, perhaps I like to present somewhat present, I do not know.

“Hopefully I am extra constant within the finals. Quallies day is all the time a bit extra nerve-wracking.”
