Competitors will have to ski the 2,5km lap with height difference of 41m and total climb of 77m. Despite warm weather and plus degrees last few days, there is still enough snow and organizers are working hard to prepare the best conditions as possible for the competition. Due lack of natural snow whole 2.5km course is prepared with artificial snow.

Last year competition in Priekuli was in February as the second stage of National championships and was just after the World junior championships therefore in addition to neighbours Estonians and Lithuanians also strong Canadian team with best juniors and U23 took part, which we will see this year again in February, because during the next weekend Canadians have their own national championship.

Competition in Priekuli is just a weekend before the World cup in nearby Otepe, which is approximately 100km from Priekuli. New hotel is opened last year just two kilometers from Priekuli skiing track, so good training facilities is provided.
