On behalf of the Organising Committee of Cortina d'Ampezzo I have the honour of extending a hearty welcome to the participants in the tenth Women's Alpine Ski World Cup event held in our town. A special greeting to all the athletes of the National Teams, to guests, sponsors, members of the Jury, race officials and to our friends of the Press, Radio and Television.
Thanks to the collective effort and time put in both by the Organising Committee and the townsfolk in the past, this ski event in the Ampezzo valley has become a "classic" of the Women's circuit.
I wish you all a happy stay in Ampezzo and much success in your athletic feats.

Enrico Valle
President of the Organising Committee
