One week before the event, the snow conditions at Lillehammer, Norway, the second venue of the Nordic Combined World Cup tour, are good.

Snow controller Terje Lund reported for the jumping hills: „Both jumping hills are open and in good condition. Ski Jumping training is ongoing on both hills. The weather forecast for next week is positive with stable cold weather after some warm temperatures on this Saturday.“

Also the cross-country tracks are well on the way to be ready: „The 2.5 km course that will be used by Nordic Combined is completely prepared with snow and will be groomed during the weekend and opened on Monday. The general snow situation is good.“

If there are no radical weather changes on the way that are not predicted in the forecasts, the competitions for Lillehammer can be confirmed.
