"It was a great early season performance, I thought," according to Saints head coach Chad Salmela. "Brooke and Liz each stepped up with one of the strongest races I've seen from them as Saint, which is awesome. We came here with two of our strongest skiers absent, and we had great presence with how we skied. Great start to the competitive season for sure."
