For the fifth year in a row, Beaver Creek is scheduled to hold four World Cup races. At last week’s International Ski Federation Congress, the governing body confirmed the 2008 World Cup schedule, which includes a full slate of racing on the Birds of Prey, from Dec. 4-7. “For the past couple years, the initial calendar has come out we’ve only had three races,” said John Dakin, vice president of communications for the Vail Valley Foundation, which puts on the races. “It always tends to be a bit of a fight each year because all of the other countries want more races.”
