Last one, fast one! The fastest skiers in North America had one more chance to hang it all out today at Craftsbury, with a National Championship on the line for Americans as well as double SuperTour points, points that award ‘24 World Cup period 1 start slots. With all this on the line, Andreas Kirkeng and Sydney Palmer-Leger rose to the occasion and took the wins.
