Goodman, who placed 29th at a World Cup slalom in Lienz, AUT earlier this season, finished today’s run in a two-run combined time of one minute 44.41 seconds.
“I am very happy. I was focused on putting two solid runs today and was able to do that,” said Goodman, who was 27th after the opening run. “To have a career best result is a very good feeling and I just have to keep working on getting more aggressive and more comfortable every race.”
