Alpine skiing, first outing of the Goggia: a 6th and a 7th place in the Copper Mountain test

It may not have been like the Cervinia “speed opening” scheduled for November 5-6 and canceled due to lack of snow, but the two women’s super-g that took place today in Copper Mountain have given some indications. Nine blue women on the track for the two FIS level tests (only Elena Curtoni rested) in which almost all the national teams took part working on the North American tracks.
