List of Major races by the resort

       Of the World Cup races after 1983, that have kept either Kandahar (in Chamonix),
      or the full Arlberg-Kandahar title, only those held in St.Anton can be regarded
      as indisputable A-K races. Those held in Garmisch, where slalom is omitted,
      and downhill was combined with super-G, unquestionably fail the test.

      On the other hand organizers of the Chamonix races explicitely call their race
      just Kandahar race (deliberately ommiting Arlberg from the race title, out of
      sheer rivalry among the ski resorts). So the fact that the format of the race
      (downhill and slalom combined) satisfies the original criterium, does not
      suffice for these race to be considered as legitimate heirs of the original
      A-K ones.

      Results of these races (covering only those top 15 or 30, who earned the world
      cup points), can be found at the FIS web site
