- The canceled race was a replacement for a super-G called off in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany two weeks ago, and organizers said it will not be rescheduled again.
- Marco Odermatt could have clinched the super-G season title on Saturday after securing both the overall and downhill globes, holding a commanding 158-point lead over Austria's Vincent Kriechmayr with two races remaining.
- Four other racers, including Olympic champion Franjo von Allmen, retain mathematical chances but would need to overcome deficits exceeding 180 points; a race win awards 100 points.
