Giant Slalom Birds of Prey Photos

Photo (C) 2009 Zach Mahone

As the snow continues to fall here we draw a close to the 2009 Audi Birds of Prey World Cup in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Enjoy a collection of photos from the first run of the Giant Slalom this morning. Carlo Janka (SUI) completed the Birds of Prey hat-trick becoming the second person in course history behind Hermann Maier to win three consecutive races here. Ted Ligety took top honors for the Americans in fourth place behind third place finisher Aksel Lund Svindal and second place finisher Benjamin Raich.

Check back in the coming days for more Birds of Prey. We will post more photos, videos and an interactive 360 degree Birds of Prey experience soon.
