The IASF hold a world airline's ski competition yearly and the venue used to alternate between the USA and Europe but now seems to be be centered in Europe. Another very social event but the skiing ability is a lot higher as full length race courses are set for these events.

The 540 line is highlighted, since this line is often used as a rule of thumb to indicate the division between rain and snow for low terrain. When there is precipitation where the thickness is below 540dam, it is generally snow. If the thickness is above 540dam, it is usually rain (or sleet if the air next to the surface is below freezing).
