A first run full of surprise, that of the second male giant of the season, staged under the thick snow of Beaver Creek.
The Birds of Prey was fatal to Alexis Pinturault, author of two serious errors in the upper part and almost 2 seconds from the summit, and to Marco Odermatt (in addition to Stefan Luitz, immediately outside on the track where he won 12 months ago) who, after having driven in the first two intermediates, he leaned too much into compression after the Golden Eagle, ending up blatantly out.
Tommy Ford commands, for the first time in his career and after his best result in the opening of Soelden (fourth), but Norway is there with a rediscovered Leif Kristian Nestvold-Haugen, second at 2 tenths, and especially Henrik Kristoffersen , who finds himself at only 23 cents and can attack to take what would be the second consecutive victory after Levi's slalom.
Ted Ligety is also in the fight, albeit 61 cents away from his team-mate on "his" track, and Zan Kranjec fifth at 71 cents. For Italy, Luca De Aliprandini's race was just decent, out of the top ten with a gap of 1'70 from Ford.
