"I am extremely proud of how the girls skied in slalom today--they took second in the event, on some really challenging courses on terrain that is the steepest that we have been on this season. We ended up with three skiers in the top fifteen in slalom, in a field of some very talented skiers." Coach Petrosky, "GS was just tough for us today. We struggled and I blame lack of training on steeper slopes. It takes a little practice to deal with the steep slopes and speed that is involved when racing the big hills and we just haven't had a chance to train on them this year."

The following skiers earned medals and scored for the Scots: Emily Dean (9th SL & 14th GS), Barbie DeGood (10th SL) and Evie Schlett (14.5 th SL). DeGood also scored in GS with a 19th place.
