QUOTES 

Travis Ganong
I think I was winning the top split, but then I stuck my head into a panel just before the jump and got all twisted up. Both top buckles on my left boot came off, my goggles were crooked and I lost my pole. I lost another second and a half there. I'm happy with my skiing, but there was that one big mistake that held me back. All things considered, you just have to send it and push hard. It's the only way to ski race. 

I'm happy with my ski racing and I'm ready to go again in Beaver Creek. Coming into this race weekend I hadn't had much training aftter hurting my knee. I got a little confidence after this weekend. My knee is feeling great and my body is feeling great.
