Notes

Entry ticket for the men’s downhill on 8 February The ski events were held on the slopes of the Chamrousse ski resort. More than 500 soldiers on skis flattened the snow on the courses. The races were held on 8, 11, 12 and 17 February, but the dreadful weather conditions altered the schedule. The downhill was held on the 9th, rather than on the 8th as shown on the ticket.
