SUN VALLEY, Idaho (AP) Olympian Tommy Ford wrapped up a solid season by winning the giant slalom at the U.S. Alpine championships.
On a tough course, Ford finished in a combined time of 2 minutes, 11.60 seconds on Sunday to hold off Brian McLaughlin by 0.36 seconds. David Ketterer of Germany wound up third.
The 29-year-old Ford had his best season on the World Cup circuit with three top-10 finishes in the giant slalom. He also finished 20th in the discipline at the Pyeongchang Olympics last month.
McLaughlin had quite a year by winning three races on the NorAm level.
