The 64th 4-Hills-Tournament kicks off Tuesday evening in Oberstdorf and despite the mild temperatures recently, the facilities at all four locations are ready for this big event.

On Monday the green light was also given for the Paul-Ausserleitner-hill in Bischofshofen, where the final will be held on January 5th and 6th, 2016.

"Like every year at this time, the hill is almost ready for jumping. It is completely prepared with artificial snow and there are also enough snow reserves, which won't be needed because the weather forecast predicts temperatures of - 7 to - 9° C for the upcoming six days", said Gerhard Wenninger after the official snow control of the International Ski Federation FIS.
