Frenchman Missillier wins NorAm slalom in Loveland

A field of World Cup regulars populated the start list on the second day of NorAm slalom competition in Loveland, Colo. today (Nov 28). 

French Olympian Steve Missillier (1:27.75) beating out Austrian two-time World Cup winner Marcel Hirscher by two-tenths of a second in combined time. Dartmouth product David Chodousky of the U.S., who won yesterday’s opening NorAm race, took third with a time of 1:28.19.

Canadian Brad Spence, the 2009 NorAm slalom and GS overall champion, just missed the podium in fourth place with a time of 1:28.36, opening the floodgates for his Canadian teammates, who took four of the remaining top-ten spots.

The U.S. Ski Team’s Nolan Kasper secured the last top-ten spot with a time of 1:28.95.

The NorAm women will get a go at the Loveland slalom track tomorrow while the men will shift to Aspen to take advantage of the GS course recently vacated by the women’s World Cup Tour.
