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.
