It seemed whoever got the best start on the first 2 hills won. I didn't get the "Oh my goodness this is chaos on skis" thing. I don't know if it is the setup of the course made it extremely difficult to pass or what. It just seemed to me that the order they hit the first turn was 9 times out of 10 the order they crossed the finish line. I have watched this sport in the X-Games and it has been exciting, but not so much here. Maybe it was just me but I was kind of BLAH about ski cross.
