A good debut, even if it was a winning one, the goal was only success. He didn't get too far from that first place, Ted Ligety, engaged in his first adventure at the World Pro Ski Tour, the American circuit that proposes itself as an alternative and wants to grow more and more, thus having convinced the American champion to participate in some stages despite commitments with the World Cup. On the snows of Steamboat Springs, on the occasion of the second appointment staged at the Howelsen Hill Ski Area of the Colorado resort, the parallel in the night version saw the three-time giant world champion stop only in the semifinal, after giving in to the future winner Robert Cone (who had already won the first stage) after winning the first heat. Cone then beat an ex-World Cup skier like Canadian Phil Brown in the final, always recovering in the decisive run, while Ligety gave in the final for the 3rd-4th place to the specialist Garret Driller. â€œAn experience to repeat - Ted immediately said - It was my first time on this track, which proved to be anything but simple as the whole competition. The starting system is also different and you have to adapt, but it was a good start â€. And now focus on Adelboden, as Ligety will return to Europe to participate in the World Cup giant on Chuenisbargli, which saw him win only once in his career in 2013.
