The last regular stop on the World Cup Tour is in the books, we look back at how the women's races in Are have build very nicely into a close battle for the Overall Globe. The mens races were hampered by bad weather and had 2 Super G's cancelled.

What a weekend of racing, on the mens side LP-B in fine form continuing on from the Olympics, putting the pressure on Odermatt in the race for the GS Globe, and still in the hunt for the Slalom Globe as well but his former room mate withstood the pressure to extend his lead in the Slalom standings with 1 to go.

For the women it was like busses for Pirovano, waits her whole career for a WC win and 2 come along at once, back to back wins and both by 1 hundredth of a second! The Italian party didn't stop there though as Curtoni picking up victory in the Super G on the last day on home snow.

Spring was definitely in session this weekend. Soldeu looked amazing and Suter was back to winning ways! Odermatt picked up victory in Garmisch Downhill, he was pushed all the way by his teammate but this time is wasn't Von Allmen.

Franzoni bossed it this weekend, the shortest Wengen DH and tricky snow for the men, whilst the women raced in a murky Tarvisio, Vonn with 2 podiums but couldn't add to her win tally, but they maybe the biggest news of the weekend was in Kronplatz, Scheib's awesome skiing is slightly over shadowed by the return of Brignone after 292 days away from racing and finished an amazing 6th.

The mens races got away this weekend without a hitch a little bit more fortunate with the weather than the women in Austria with a shortened DH all that was safe to run. Adelboden hosted some cracking racing for the men!

Ice Ice Baby #bringbackthehose. What awesome racing this weekend from the women in Slovenia. Rast on top form to get the double! Shiffrin pushed her all the way in the Slalom just couldn't quite get in front. Robinson out again leaves the Globe slipping away as Scheib capitalises with another top result in second.
