Bulgaria is set to make history by hosting both alpine skiing and snowboarding World Cup events in the upcoming 2023/2024 season. The FIS calendar has confirmed Bansko, awarded Bulgaria's Best Ski Resort by the World Ski Awards, as the venue for the prestigious competitions.

The ski resort of Agriolefkes on Mount Pilio, central Greece, will open on Friday, following the recent snowfall, the operating company said on Thursday.

Borovets, the renowned Bulgarian skiing destination, officially kicked off its winter season, marking the opening of the Sitnyakovo skiing center. Maria Sheynova, Borovets Marketing Director, expressed the resort's readiness and emphasis on meticulously preparing the slopes for visitors.

The winter season at most Slovenian ski resorts is drawing to a close this weekend, but there will be skiing to enjoy at least until early May at Kanin, the country's highest. Although visitor numbers did not top last year's excellent figures, ski lift operators are happy with the season.

The ski jumping season ended on a high note for the Slovenian team as Timi Zajc led a one-two finish ahead of Anže Lanišek, who also won third place in the overall World Cup standings.

Janez Gorišek, a civil engineer who designed the giant hill in Planica in the late 1960s together with his older brother Vlado and is considered a pioneer of ski flying, has died aged 89.

Slovenia's best ski jumper this season, Anže Lanišek finished third in the 71st Four Hills Tournament to become only the fourth Slovenian to podium the prestigious German-Austrian Ski Jumping Week.
