PARIS, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Italian skier Stefano Gross timed 49 seconds in dense snowfall to take the lead in a men's World Cup slalom at Val d'Isere on Sunday.
Many racers struggled on the course, which contained spots of slippery ice as well as soft snow. Before the start, course workers removed a 30-centimeter layer of fresh snow off the race line.
Michael Matt of Austria timed 49.19 seconds and took the second place. Swedish skiers Andre Myhrer and Mattias Hargin were 0.21 and 0.38 behind in third and fourth respectively. Enditem
