The men's Alpine World Cup is trying its luck in the United States for the second time this winter. But in the fall, there were only cancellations due to the weather.
There is a big slalom on Saturday, and Manuel Feller will be the ÖSV runner with the best chance of taking first place.
Palisades Tahoe has a very interesting giant slalom slope, Feller says: “A completely different property.” And in terms of transitions, it's very interesting.” Whether he will compete in all three giant slaloms over the two weekends “is still a little uncertain. “It's a brutal program.” Tyrolean is already one of the favorites in Sunday's slalom.
Giant slalom athlete Stefan Prinsteiner recently showed almost obligatory improvement in February/March in Bansko. The experience he had at the 2023 Palisades Tahoe with a fifth place should give him confidence: “This was a really good race.” “It was completely different for ÖSV teammate Michael Matt in the slalom with 24th place. “There was room for improvement. But the entire slope can be attacked, as it hangs in all directions. Sharp at the top, flat at the bottom. I would like to get back to where I started at the beginning of the season.” In November Matt finished third in Gorgel.
