Canadian Anna Goodman won her second straight NorAm Thursday (Dec. 3) while the American grouping came alive as Sarah Schleper posted a fast first run and wound up second by a scant eight hundredths of a second and Hailey Duke skied her way to fourth in the second of two slaloms at Loveland, Colo. Third went to Austria Eva-Marie Brem as the field brimmed with European World Cup skiers.

Goodman was joined in the finish order by teammates Eve Routhier in seventh , Brigitte Acton 13th and Erin Mielzynski 15th. U.S. skier Megan McJames was 14th while the rest of the top 15 saw skiers from Serbia, Leichtenstein, France, Poland and Austria.

The men contested their second of two giant slaloms NorAms at Aspen and was controlled by Europeans with Frenchmen Cyprien Richard and Steve Missillier placing first and third, and Austrians Marcel Hirscher, Philipp Schoerghofer and Hannes Reichelt finishing second, fourth and fifth respectively and Norway’s Truls Ove Karlsen posting sixth.

Warner Nickerson, in seventh, led the way for North America and the U.S. team, but placings eighth through 11 were also represented by skiers from Norway, France and Austria. Canada got 12-13 and 14 from Tyler Nella, Jeff Frisch and David Donaldson respectively.
