Questionable weather and fresh snow from the night before somewhat defined proceedings. But the course build itself also seemed pretty lacking. Any bobble ruined speed for the entire run. Men The problems with conditions led to correspondingly few landed runs. Most who did make it to the bottom experienced some kind of issues.
