Didier Cuche was fastest on the day clocking in .35 of a second faster than Klaus Kroell with Christof Innerhofer collecting third another three tenths back.
Canadian Erik Guay finished 12th, a second and a third back with teammate Jan Hudec 18th. Steven Nyman led the Americans in 36th place, Erik Fisher in 39th, Wiley Maple 56th, Ted Ligety in 61st and Tommy Ford 62nd.

About the Author: Hank McKee
In memoriam: The veteran of the staff, McKee started with Ski Racing in 1980. Over the seasons, he covered virtually every aspect of the sport, from the pro tours to junior racing, freestyle and World Cup alpine competition. He wrote the first national stories for many U.S. team stars, and was still around to report on their retirements. “Longevity has its rewards,” he said, “but it’s a slow process.”
