Ski racing - the slalom last weekend in Palisades Tahoe, won by Austria’s Manuel Feller. Both Dave Ryding and Billy Major qualified for the second run, unfortunately Billy failed to finish that run and made a mistake close to the top of the course and Dave ended up in 24th place. This weekend we have the women’s speed races in Kvitfjell, Norway and mens GS and slalom in Aspen, Colorado. The women then head to Are in Sweden, the men to Slovenia before everyone comes together in Saalbach, Austria for the World Cup finals from March 16-24.
