Markel wins final slalom in Alyeska Cup series

After establishing a comfortable lead on her first run, Gabrielle Markel cruised to victory on Monday in the final slalom of the Alyeska Cup series.

Fellow J-2 skier Sarah Lundgren finished second overall, 1.9 seconds back. Aspen Sulte was third, another second back, after a sparkling second run.

Alyeska Cup champion Jordan Lane took a long hike in the first run, pushing her down to last place. But to prove she had not lost her touch since a Sunday victory, she laid down the fastest time in the women's second run.

Alex Erickson was consistent and fast, turning in the fastest run on both men's courses. Second was Morgan Haymans, three seconds back. Dakota Chastain took third.

The races were part of the Alyeska Cup series.
