Miller in 6th place
The Birds of Prey piste was shorter than usual due to bad snow conditions but still was challenging. Walchhofer beat Nyman by 5/100 of a second while Didier Cuche came in 3rd was only 10/100 behind. Didier Defago and Marco Buechel missed the podium by a few hundredths. Bode Miller had almost a crash at the start but managed to get to the 6th place in the end.
