There’s a busy programme ahead of Nové Město organizers at the beginning of the New Year. Despite the warm Christmas weather, the 2.5 km course is being fully used for training and racing both by cross-country skiers and biathletes. On the first weekend of 2014, on 4.–5. January, the Vysočina Arena will welcome participants of the 2^nd round of the six-round cross-country skiing series – the Slavic Cup, that was originally scheduled to take place in Jablonec nad Nisou.

Cold weather on the Vysočina highland over the weekend enabled us to deliver technical snow from depot on track. The plan is to have courses ready for training right after Christmas. The first event to be held in the Vysočina Arena this season is the Czech Biathlon Cup on 28. and 29. December.

After the thaw last week the snow cannons in the Vysočina Highland are running at full “gas” again.

With 25 days left until the start of the Cross-country skiing World Cup in Nové Město the preparations are in full swing. Readiness of local stadium will be first tested straight after Christmas when local biathletes will arrive to compete in the opening round of the Czech Cup series.

A trailer for the upcoming Biathlon World Cup season 2013/14 comes from NMNM's World Championships. It is worthwhile to look back and see what we were able to managed in Vysočina Arena.
