Podkoren 3 is a black World Cup technical ski course on Vitranc mountain in Podkoren, Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, opened in 1983. It was constructed by Peter Lakota, a successful Slovenian skier.

Contents

It has been hosting slalom and giant slalom for Vitranc Cup (Pokal Vitranc) since then. [1] It replaced previous slopes; Bukovniški smuk (1961–70) and old gas station slope (1971–83).

With 59% incline at start of giant slalom, it is the ski slope with the steepest part in Slovenia. It is located close to Planica and Rateče (near the Italian and Austrian borders).

This slope is considered one of top three hardest giant slaloms in the world, together with Alta Badia (ITA) and Adelboden (SUI).

The slope is part of "Podkoren I" section, one of four, right in the middle of Kranjska Gora Ski Resort. [2] [3]

History

In December 1983, this course was officially opened with women's and men's slalom (20,000 people), replacing the old previous course above the nearby gas station. [4] [5]

In 1985, total of 40,000 people has gathered in two days. 30,000 alone at slalom where Rok Petrovič won in front home crowd, one of the most iconic and most visited and events in Kranjska Gora. [6]

In 1986, total of 20,000 people have seen another home win for the second year in a row, with Bojan Križaj and Rok Petrovič being first and second in SL. They were at the peak of their fame and absolute national heroes, icons, with alpine skiing, especially slalom as the far most popular sport in the country in the eighties. Swiss Joël Gaspoz won the giant slalom a day before for the third year in Kranjska Gora a row. [7] [8]
