Mahre, 23, went into the last race of the season, a giant slalom at Laax, Switzerland, needing a third-place finish or better to edge out the great Swedish slalom and giant-slalom specialist Ingemar Stenmark in the winter-long Cup competition. At the end of the two giant-slalom runs at Laax, Mahre had a combined time of 2 min. 40.05 sec. That put him in second place for the day behind Alexander Zhirov, a rising Soviet star, who came in at 2 min. 39.80 sec. Stenmark was third, at 2 min. 40.24 sec. But Mahre's finish...

Klaussen is the first Harvard skier to qualify for both the NCAA slalom and giant slalom events since demi-god Ben Steele did it in 1973. Last year, Klaussen, the only Harvard contender and seeded a dead last, barely qualified for the giant slalom. Although he was the 57th man to leave the gate, Klaussen took a surprising 26th place at the University of Vermont-hosted meet...
...first race of the season, this Klaussen jumped to a 16th in the University of New Hampshire carnival, his second best race to date. Here was a Klaussen who could fall in the middle of a run and still cop sixth place, as he did at the giant slalom at Dartmouth last month. And then, three weeks ago, he took a 5th and a 12th in the slalom and giant slalom at Williams...
Though he leaves Eastern ice and rocks far behind, Klaussen will have to face the same problem of soft snow and deep ruts out in Utah. Having been away from Western skiing for four years, Klaussen hopes he will be able to readapt his form in time for the slalom tomorrow and the giant slalom on Friday...
