Manuel Feller, last season's winner of the Slalom World Cup, is skipping the giant slalom in Beaver Creek this weekend. This was confirmed by the Austrian Ski Association on Tuesday.

The Tyrolean Feller was only planning to compete in the giant slalom on Sunday at the races overseas. Manuel Feller dropped out of his first three races this season and slightly injured his hip in a fall in Gurgl. As the hip is not yet 100 percent healed and because he has not trained in giant slalom for a month, Feller decided to stay at home and not travel to Beaver Creek.

He will be back in Val d'Isère in mid-December.
