ANCHORAGE, Alaska—The Colorado Buffaloes Ski Team opened the 74th Annual RMISA Championships with giant slalom races here at Alyeska Resort, and while the team results leave a little to be desired, the deeper story of NCAA Qualification had some bright spots here Wednesday.
Louis Fausa had a spectacular race that saw him pick up his first career podium appearance, taking third place and shoring up his qualification. He started the race 15th and threw down the second fastest first run and after the 10th fastest second run, he held on to that podium by just one-hundredth of a second.
