At times the FIS acts like a totally dumb organization. Why fly technical ski racers (slalom and GS) for just one weekend of races from the Alps to California, to ski on snow far too soft for racing?
There is the toll it takes on the athletes bodies (round-trip length plus 9 hours jet-lag), plus the cost to the environment estimated to be in the order of 1,500 tons of carbon emissions.
But in all frankness, and without generalizing too much, these are solid Swiss values. Perhaps, most sports federations, including the International Olympic Committee, might benefit greatly from being moved out of this iconic fiscal paradise?
