Clément Noël, winner of the Kandahar in 2020 and 2021, will make his training preparation on the Verte des Houches, a downhill piste that is in fact a 3343m long black run with an 870m vertical drop.
The Olympic champion just claimed the victory on Tuesday evening in Schladming and now he will be on the Haute-Savoie slope for the last slalom before the Courchevel-Méribel World Ski Championships (whose slalom will be the fireworks for end on Thursday 19 February 2023).
Clément will be accompanied by other partners from the France team such as Paco Rassat and Steven Amiez.
On 4 February 2023, the best skiers in the world will compete in a slalom.
