The Lenzerheide-Parpan area has hosted several women and men's World Cup races in the past. The last women's competitions took place in 1995. Situated near Chur on the road to St Moritz, the Lenzeheide valley is a beautiful area with great skiing served with an efficient lift system. The excellent and varied skiing, boasts good hotels and easy access to it one of the most popular destination resorts in eastern Switzerland. The women's downhill, won by Picabo Street in 1995 is full of tricky turns and very fast sections. The most famous race, a men's slalom, took place in Parpan in January 1984: Phil and Steve Mahre, the legendary twins from White Pass, Washington, were disqualified after winning because they accidentally wore each other's race bibs. Only the Mahres and their close friends noticed it, but they told the race jury about the confusion. A month later they won again for real this time: at the Olympics in Sarajevo.
