The Canadian resort will stage the downhill tomorrow and the super-G on Sunday (November 26).

A downhill training session is scheduled for today following the cancellation of those due to be held on Wednesday (November 22) and yesterday.

The two previous training runs were cancelled after heavy snowfall and warmer temperatures made the course too soft.

"The course crew of the Lake Louise World Cup, the legendary Sled Dogs and Net Monkeys, worked hard and succeeded to prepare a downhill track in great conditions," an FIS statement reads. 

"But during the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, an important quantity of snowfall softened up the course and made speed training impossible on Wednesday. 

"The racers still got to have a feeling of the track, as the warm-up took place on a section of the race course and the inspection from top to bottom maintained."

The FIS said overnight rain made it hard to assure a safe training run yesterday and that the intention was to preserve the track for today's practice. 

Men's races at the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup event in Lake Louise were cancelled last year due to a lack of snow and warm weather.

Among those set to compete in the super-G event are Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal, Kjetil Jansrud and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde.

The trio have shared the last six seasons' super-G crystal globes between them with Svindal coming out on top in 2012, 2013 and 2014, Jansrud in 2015 and 2017 and Kilde in 2016.

Svindal and Kilde had some setbacks in their off-season preparations with the former experiencing some struggles on his comeback from meniscus surgery in January and the latter suffering a concussion in the middle of October that sidelined him for six weeks.

Also due to take place this weekend are women's giant slalom and slalom races in Killington in the United States.

Home favourite Mikaela Shiffrin is among those in line to compete as she looks to repeat her slalom victory from last year.

Shiffrin is the reigning overall World Cup champion and the current Olympic and world champion in slalom.

"This is an Olympic year," Killington spokesperson Kristel Filmore was reported as saying by the Boston Herald. 

"Some of these ladies we'll see compete here will be competing in the Olympics as well."

The giant slalom is scheduled for tomorrow, while the slalom is set for Sunday.
