Our friend Jenny Shute, who are coming to our event for a long years, sent us these warm regards:
Just a note from me, and from GBR, to thank you for yet another excellent set of races in Stari vrh.
In spite of difficult weather and snow conditions, you ran two brilliant race days - there are not many other ROCs who would have been able to pull it off in such an effective way. Against all odds, you also ran the parallel slalom, where there was really NO snow!
Please pass on my thanks to all concerned, including your sponsors. For us it is very important event, and it is good to have been part of the 39th Pokal Loka 2014!
I am already looking forward to next year, and know that you will have already started to work towards staging another spectacular event! Thank you for all your hard work.
With warmest regards! Jenny

Three weeks ago the organizers of Pokal Loka didn't know how to bring forth this year's programme. The weather and snow conditions were not friendly. Even more the whole Slovenia suffered with ice incrusted trees, electrical pillars and wires. Great damage, one third of the country was without electricity and water.
Finally the weather and the working hands of the domestic club members enabled to carry out the whole foreseen events: on Friday the parallel slalom on brownish snow in the old town of Skofja Loka, on Saturday and Sunday races on the slopes of Stari vrh.
The rivalry of the participants was pretty sharp. Among 32 participated countries Austrians, Germans, Norwegians, Croates, Slovenians and French were stepping out but also some individuals from Bulgaria, Sweden, BIH, Poland and Czech Republic shined. The winners were in the category U-14 Ula Podrepsek and Neja Dvornik both Slovenia, Simon Oberhamberger - Austria and Wilhelm Normannseth - Norway, in the category U-16 Lana Zbasnik and William Vukelic both Croatia, Julia Pronnet (for the fifth time in Pokal Loka) and Sion Demattio both Germany. The team winner, as many times before, Austria, followed by Germany and Norway,
Next year Pokal Loka will celebrate his 40th anniversary and expects a record participation of countries.
