Ligety Wins in Soelden

Ligety Wins in Soelden

NASTAR National Pacesetter and U.S. Ski Team member, Ted Ligety, overcame poor weather conditions and new skis to take the first GS World Cup win of the 2012-13 season.

 Ligety proved he is the best of the best today (Oct.28th) by winning this season’s first men’s FIS Giant Slalom World Cup competition in Soelden, Austria. With a time of two minutes and 36.02 seconds, put Ligety ahead of Italy’s Manfred Moelgg by a margin of 2.75 seconds, a gap that hasn’t been done since the 1970’s.

Heavy snowfall and low visibility during both of his race runs makes Ligety’s victory even more impressive.  “ It was super bumpy and you couldn’t see anything,” said Ligety to Ski Racing Magazine. “I ski a little rounder than most and I think that helped me which is a bit weird. I was going all out on the full second run taking more risks than was probably smart.”

Ligety knew that taking risks is what he needed to do to overcome the poor weather conditions and on the new 35-meter GS skis, dimensions that are being used for the first time this year, the risk was even higher. Skiing Magazine had the chance to talk with Ligety before is races in Soelden, he told the magazineThere has definitely been an adjustment period getting used to the new skis. They are harder to turn and take more energy, but I've adjusted my set up around that and now they feel really good as long as the snow is hard and the course isn't crazy turny.” The snow wasn’t hard and the course was a little crazy, but Ligety is a true competitor and didn’t let the poor conditions get the best of him.

Congratulations Ted Ligety on your first win of the season!
