The Swiss resort of Crans-Montana is hosting Alpine Skiing World Cup races this week, four weeks after a tragic New Year's Eve fire at a bar killed 40 people, mostly teenagers, and injured 116. The events, serving as the final tune-up before the Milan-Cortina Olympics, proceed in a respectful, low-key atmosphere with tributes to the victims. Top skiers like Lindsey Vonn and Sofia Goggia have begun training amid mourning banners and team memorials.
