Alice Robinson wins the giant slalom in Tremblant ahead of Zrinka Ljutic and Valerie Grenier. Camille Rast finishes the race just off the podium, Wendy Holdener and Sue Piller in the top 20.
Robinson had a lead of 96 hundredths when she won a week ago in Copper Mountain. Now it was only marginally less in the ski resort in the Canadian province of Quebec. She took 94 hundredths off second-placed Zrinka Ljutic from Croatia, while the local Valérie Grenier lost exactly one second to the now six-time World Cup winner, who also benefited from the retirement of the leader in the discipline classification: Austria's Julia Scheib retired in the first run after setting the best intermediate times in the lower part of the course.
After 5th place in Copper Mountain, Camille Rast once again performed well in her second strongest discipline. The slalom world champion, who is still struggling with hip problems, improved by two places in the second run. A week ago she was 33 hundredths off her second World Cup podium in the giant slalom, now it was 21 hundredths.
With Wendy Holdener (17th), Sue Piller (20th) and Simone Wild (29th), three other Swiss women finished in the points, although this is particularly important for the latter two. While Wild scored her first World Cup points after recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, Piller made it into the points for the first time in her sixth World Cup race. After a good first run, the 20-year-old from Freiburg showed an even better second run.
