Senior sets tone, finishes first in both slalom races

Reece Bell shook off a rough first race to bounce back and place fifth in the second race (29 points), highlighted by posting the fastest second run time of any competitor.
- Galena Wardle, in her collegiate debut, finished 21st in both races.
- DU's 157 points were good for second, just six back of Utah.
