FLASH QUOTES:

Antonia Wearmouth (BCST/Grouse Tyee) – "I'm really happy with how today went. The snow froze and set up really well for the race and the sky was bluebird. I've had some really quick turns in GS recently and today I just trusted that. I stuck with what has been working lately and kept the focus up all the way to the finish. I'm excited for what tomorrow will bring!"

Ryan Jazic (Women's BC Team Head Coach) – "The icy snow made for some of the toughest conditions we've had this season, but that seems to be where Antonia excels! She built on a solid first run and there was no holding back on her way to victory."

Nick Cooper (Head Coach BC Alpine) – "It has been an up and down year for Toni in tech. We've known she's had the speed for a while, but hasn't been able to really put down two solid runs in GS yet. Today she did just that and showed what she is really capable of!"

The men raced slalom in challenging conditions that saw only 27 of 104 racers successfully complete 2 runs. BC Team's Dominic Unterberger finished just off the podium in 4th place, Max Peiffer was 7th ( wearing bib 35), Sam Mulligan came in 9th overall and Cameron Alexander rounded out the top 10 (in bib 41) – very respectable for all!
