NEDERLAND, Colo. – Nevada men's skiing kicked off their five-straight days of competition in Colorado at Eldora Mountain Resort Wednesday morning, competing in giant slalom. This race was added on to make up for the second day of the Montana State Invitational after being canceled due to weather on February 1.
 
Sophomore Jeger Halbjoerhus led the Pack, finishing with a combined time of 1:53.21 in 32^nd place. Both of Halbjoerhus' first and second runs consistently ranked 34^th in the field, but once combined, allowed him to move up two spots, just missing the top 30. Not far behind was sophomore Iver Naess, capturing 35^th overall. Naess was ranked 43^rd after his first run but had the 31^st fastest second run in the field (55.89), to ultimately move up and finish just behind teammate Halbjoerhus.
 
Ibon Mintegui, the senior out of Leioa Bizkaia, Spain, came in 37^th place overall with a combined overall time of 1:54.19. Finishing just two spots behind Mintegui and rounding out the Pack, junior Ulrik Danielsen placed 39^th in 1:54.71. Senior Francesco Colombi put up a 57.45 effort in the first run, ranking 40^th.
