Olympic freestyle skiers will have to do their tricks on fake snow during the Turin Games and organisers are hoping none of the real white stuff gets in the way.

　　Both the aerial and moguls courses in the relatively snow free village of Sauze d'Oulx in the Italian Alps have been created using artificial snow from 20 powerful snow cannons.

　　"It is all artificial snow. It is the best there is," Andrea Gamba, the Games' freestyle skiing coordinator, said on Thursday. He said his team would have to remove the real snow if there was heavy snowfall as it created an uneven surface.

　　The signs so far look good with sunshine forecast ahead of the start of the freestyle skiing programme on Saturday when the women's moguls heats and finals take place.

　　参加都灵冬奥会自由式滑雪比赛的运动员们将会在人造雪上一展自己的身手，同时赛事的组织者们希望届时在赛场上不要出现任何天然雪的痕迹。

　　据路透社2月9日报道，在本届冬奥会自由式滑雪比赛中，空中技巧和蒙古式滑雪的赛道均设在位于意大利境内阿尔卑斯山脚下降雪量相对稀少的索兹杜尔克斯村里，有关方面已经将这些全部由人造雪形成的赛道建设完毕，其间总共使用了20台大功率造雪机。本届冬奥会自由式滑雪比赛的协调员安德列亚·冈巴说：“我们用的都是人造雪，这是一个最佳的选择。”他表示如果比赛时出现大雪天气，那么其手下将不得不去迅速清除掉那些天然雪，因为如果不这样做的话，赛道就会变得凹凸不平。

　　本届冬奥会自由式滑雪比赛将于2月11日开始举行，当天将进行女子蒙古式滑雪比赛的预赛和决赛，从目前的天气预报来看，至少在这一天之前都将会是艳阳高照的好天气。
