This weekend will see the start of the International Ski Federation (FIS) World Cup Freestyle Skiing final in Kreischberg, Austria.

The event will include a series of downhill competitions in both men and women's categories, with visitors able to watch preliminary training runs throughout the weekend.

Competitors will be practicing on the slopes on Saturday and Sunday before the final heats, which begin at 13:00 CET on Sunday.

Kreischberg is an internationally renowned ski resort, with eleven cableways and lifts providing access to 29 kilometres of slopes for all levels of experience.

As well as a range of slope difficulties, the resort also boasts toboggan runs and cross-country trails.

It ensures against bad weather with the use of snow cannons, which provide fresh powder cover for over 80 per cent of the slopes.

Those planning a ski-holiday this season may be interested in InsureandGo's competitive ski insurance policies, which also provide automatic cover for other winter sports including tobogganing and snowboarding.
