Official results
Giant slalom On 4 March 1961, giant slalom with only one run, was held as Vitranc Cup premiere event. Start was at the top of the Vitranc mountain (1,552 m) and with finish line at "Bukovnik meadow" (1,035 m).
The upper part of the course was extremely steep and dangerous, brutally demanding and also known as "hara-kiri with acceleration". That's why it was never used again and moved lower ever since.
