ASPEN- It’s been three seasons since three American men qualified in a FIS World Cup slalom, and for the Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes who just completed their North American leg of the tour, there’s no place like home.

American ski racer Ryder Sarchett took home the men’s giant slalom gold medal and the Junior World GS Champion title. The competition was held on the Esserailloux race course at St. Jean d’Aulps resort, a challenging track that saw only 57 finishers out of a field of 152 entered. 

Switzerland's Daniel Yule was the slowest first-run skier to qualify for the finale. That made him the first skier to attack the final run. So when he defended his lead through 29 challengers to win the Chamonix slalom, he made World Cup history. Being the first to do so is extraordinarily special. He accomplished his miracle with a second run that was (-0.64) faster than anyone else.

Chamonix's Verte race venue buzzed with anticipation as the world's top racers geared up for a thrilling showdown. Amidst the towering peaks and eager spectators, French favorite Clement Noel vowed to dazzle his home crowd. And dazzle he did.

Marco Schwarz took possession of the leader's throne. Cleent Noel took 2nd place and Dave Ryding earned 3rd place. Check out more deatils on the Madonna di Campiglio race.

Luke Winters leads the Stifel US Ski Team's men's slalom program, boasting the most experience and achievements among its current members. Over the past three seasons, Winters, alongside his close friends and teammates Jett Seymour and Ben Ritchie, has formed the core of the men's slalom team.

Like all ski racers, Benjamin Ritchie has always relished going fast. However, what he’s always loved most about the sport is making turns.

Rossignol, Dynastar, Lange and Look dates for Mt. Hood will be June 12th to June 30th.
