Alpine Skiing Returns to Action at Utah Invitational
2/17/2020 5:17 PM | Skiing
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah ski alpine teams return to collegiate action this weekend at the Utah Invitational, hosted at Park City Mountain Resort from Feb. 22-23 with the Utes also hosting an RMISA slalom qualifier on Feb. 24.
Races begin on Saturday, Feb. 22, with the giant slalom followed by the slalom on Sunday, Feb. 23, both counting for the Utah Invitational. Monday's RMISA slalom qualifier does not count towards any team scoring and is used as an extra opportunity for skiers to earn qualification points for the NCAA Championships at the end of the season. Action will begin each day at approximately 9:15 a.m. Fans can watch from the base of Eagle lift.
The Utes lead the Utah Invitational following the Nordic portion of the meet with 387 points, 70 points ahead of Alaska Anchorage (317) and 104.5 points ahead of third-place Denver (282.5). Utah has been the top overall alpine team in both meets this year, the Denver Invitational and Colorado Invitational, with the Utes the top overall team in the men's alpine races. The Utes have won both meets as a team this season.
The alpine teams last raced collegiately on Jan. 17. Several skiers took a trip to Canada earlier this month to compete in Nor-Am Cup races.
A Utah skier has won three of the six men's races held this season with Joachim Lien leading the RMISA with two wins, both in the slalom, and Addison Dvoracek with a giant slalom win. Each has three podium finishes on the year, which is tied for second in the league. Tomas Birkner has finished in the top 10 three times this season with a season-best finish of seventh in the slalom at the Denver Invitational. Gustav Vøllo has two top-10 finishes, including a seventh-place run in the giant slalom at the Denver Invitational. Fredrik Maurstad's best finish is ninth in the giant slalom at the Colorado Invitational. Huston Philp has 10 career top 10 finishes.
For the women, Eirin Engeset is tied for third in the league with two podium finishes this year, both third-place giant slalom finishes. She has three total top-10 finishes. Sona Moravcikova is tied for fifth in the RMISA with four top-10 finishes with a season-best finish of fourth in the giant slalom at the Colorado Invitational. Katie Vesterstein has finished in the top 10 three times, placing fifth in the slalom at the Denver Invite, while Katie Parker has a pair of top-10 finishes with her season-best finish eighth in the giant slalom at the Colorado Invite. Roni Remme, whose best finish this year is second in the slalom at the Colorado Invite, is currently on the World Cup circuit.
