The Swiss achieves his 47th World Cup success at Copper Mountain, in the first fast race of the season. Paris and Franzoni close to the top 10
There is the first super G of the Ski World Cup season and the professor of the specialty takes the chair: Marco Odermatt won his 47th career victory in CdM at Copper Mountain (Colorado, USA) (second season after the Solden giant), preceding the Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr by eight hundredths and his national teammate Raphael Haaser by thirteen. Very fast race, with treacherous bumps to dirty trajectories and skiing, with very small gaps between the best: the top fifteen are within less than a second of margin.

Maluccio Mattia Casse, only twenty-first in his favorite specialty, twenty-fourth the “senator” Innerhofer.
