Dear all,

Unfortunately, despite all efforts, we were unable to secure an organizer for the ECh & EM On-Snow 2026. We sincerely thank all proactive members who worked with us to find a solution, and we appreciate everyone’s patience. We trust that you will still enjoy the winter season, and you will be informed soon about the planned World Cup On-Snow races!

Sincerely
Alena Zbozinkova
