This international meeting brings the glamour of the polo set to the Austrian resort of Kitzbühel.
The basics of snow-polo can easily be grasped by anyone already familiar with the common or garden variety - same ponies, same rules, same chukkas.
These days, it is the kind of demonstration sport visible in only the smartest resorts, which is precisely why it is shown in Kitzbühel, when four international teams line up for the world cup. Pack your Versace ski-suit, this event looks set to be the elegant rendezvous of the season.
