Blue Vixen 2007
It all looked a big dodgy until a few days after Christmas when Zwiesel finally got a dusting of snow with the promise of more to come. Unfortunately, the temperatures rose again after the new year and the expected snowfalls were not forthcoming. Instead, torrential downpours rendered the regular training areas unusable and so the teams travelled out to higher ground in search of what little snow there was. Despite hiking up many a steep hill the conditions were far from ideal, especially for the novices who may well have wondered why they'd bothered signing up. With the conditions in 2006 being absolutely perfect, those returning to Zwiesel could only lament the wonderful experience of previous years.
