Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Snowfall triggered a postponement of activities Tuesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, including snowboarding and skiing events in Livigno, Italy.
Dozens of workers flocked to the hills of the Livigno Snow Park to in an attempt to clear the course, but officials eventually decided the conditions were too dangerous for competition, due to poor visibility and potential speed impacts. New times for the events were not yet announced.
Women's aerials qualifications for freestyle skiing was set to start at 5:15 a.m. EST Tuesday. A second round of qualifications, set for 6 a.m., and two rounds of men's aerials qualifications also were postponed.
The women's slopestyle snowboarding final, which was set to start at 7 a.m., also will be rescheduled due to the severe weather at Livigno Snow Park. Jessica Perlmutter and Lily Dhawornvej are the Americans set to compete in those events.
