Skiers can faintly be seen walking up ridge (right) to reach the peak
and the point they've chosen to descend for the competition.

The field of competitors (approximately 100) who began the event was trimmed by fifty-percent following the qualifying runs on Thursday.

By Saturday, the field had been narrowed to the best 35 skiers (20 men, 5 women, and 10 juniors).
