Her team mate Deborah Bayliss (Whistler) skied to her best result so far this season, finishing second in 1:11.86, while Jennifer Mah (Surrey) earned her spot on the third podium step by finishing the two runs in just 1:12.18.

For the guys, it was recently retired Canadian Alpine Ski Team member Jeff Hume of Whistler who took the lead with a two-run time of 1:11.24. Sasha Zaitsoff of the Red Mountain Racers was a close second in 1:11.63 followed by Alexander Matheson (WMSC) who clocked the fastest second run of the day to finish third in 1:11.86.
