Since its first edition, most of the races have taken place in Maribor at the Pohorje Ski Resort, however, in the 2020s, the event was moved to Kranjska Gora due to a lack of snow in Maribor.[3][4] After the 60th edition in 2024, the competition ceased to exist.[5]
History
The first competition was held between 29 February and 1 March 1964, when there were two slalom races.[6] The first race, which was contested by 31 athletes and watched by 5,000 spectators, was won by Marielle Goitschel.[6] Initially, the competition took place on the old FIS course,[7] but in 1978, it was moved to the Snow Stadium in Maribor.[8]
