The Arctic Challenge (TAC) announced today that they will postpone event.

To protect the partners investments in TAC, the organization decided today to postpone  the event  to  March.

Warmer temperatures than normal  in both  November and December has made it  impossible to produce enough  snow.  The weather forecast for this upcoming week is very good for snow production, but long term weather forecasts are very  unreliable.

Today TAC needed to activate all arena rig and other investments, totaling several million Norwegian kroners  with immediate effect. All this would have been sunk costs  if the weather forecasts did not come true.

TAC was not willing to take this bet against the weather forecasts.  Especially as the bet included other people’s money –  being the sponsors.

Sunk costs in this size would have blocked a backup opportunity in  March.?So TAC choosed the safe option: Postponing the event to March. There are no other TTR 6 star events in the weekend of  March 5 to 7. It is also right before the European X Games, and after the Olympics, suitable for  the migration of riders  from America to Europe.TAC hopes this opens up for riders  that are now focusing totally on the Olympic event and qualification.
