2008 Volvo XC70

Oct 26, 2007 -- The 2007/2008 skiing season has been opened: with an international press conference at Sölden (Austria) Audi yesterday gave the starting signal for the first race weekend of the Audi FIS Ski World Cup to which AUDI AG has been giving its name for as many as five years now.

The giant slalom will first see the ladies take to the slopes on Saturday morning, before the men will start to race on Sunday. Of course, the German stars of the scene around Felix Neureuther and Maria Riesch are also part of the action.
