Select Utes were in action this week as part of the Nor-Am Cup series
BEAVER CREEK, Colo. – Members of the Utah Ski Team concluded a busy week of alpine races in Colorado as select Utes competed in slalom on Wednesday and Thursday at Beaver Creek, as part of the Nor-Am Cup.
Â
In Thursday's action, Oliver Parazette won silver on the junior podium and was sixth overall, coming off another junior podium appearance (bronze) earlier this week in giant slalom.
Â
This week's races and Nor-Am Cup schedule are among an additional layer of competition for select Utes, complementing the team's traditional RMISA schedule which begins in January. A full rundown of that additional schedule, both alpine and Nordic, is available here. The Nor-Am races pit athletes against some of the best in the world and are generally regarded at a tier of competition second to only the World Cup.
Â
Parazette was sixth overall on Thursday, eight-hundredths of a second behind fifth-place finisher Wilhelm Normannseth. Three more Utes placed in the top-20 in Gustav Vøllo (14th), Jeremy Mathers (17th) and Raphael Lessard (20th).
Â
It was a carbon copy for Normannseth of his Wednesday result, which also saw Normannseth tab fifth. Tomas Birkner took 10th, Parazette 13th and Vøllo claimed the 14th spot.
