Seniors Max Luukko and Nora Christensen led the way for the the University of Colorado ski team, as the 2019 season officially got underway with a pair of RMISA Alpine Qualifier races with both the men's and women's teams participated in giant slalom competition Wednesday in Nederland.
Just two skiers finished for each team, as four men and three women didn't finish their respective races. The silver lining is that today's races are not calculated for team results, although results will count toward NCAA Qualification for the individual skiers.
Luukko led the Buffs on the day with a seventh place finish in a time of 1:54.
