Larisa Yurkiw Ontario's Georgian Peaks Ski Club in Ontario finished in one minute, 18.36 seconds to take gold for the women. "Its been a while since I put a super G run together like that - it was wild, but lots of fun," says Yurkiw. "The wind was strong in the start, but calmed right down after the second gate and really wasn't a problem all the way down." Because the race didn't start until 11:30am, the men's race was late, the sun dipping behind the hills and visibility marred by near darkness. In the end though, Jeffrey Frisch of Mt. Tremblant, Quebec blew the rest of the field away. "That was gnarly!" says Frisch. "You really have to be on your skis the whole time to ride the bumps because it's kind of hard to see them."
