The start of the race was postponed by an hour due to more than half a meter of snow. Organizers removed the slide. The slalom took place in fair conditions and Feller took first place. “I didn't manage it, the turns were a bit long. I had to analyze the system and change it. Attack, nothing else,” he said in an ORF television interview (9 pm/ORF 1 Live) about the second round.

Fabio Gistrin was 1.60 seconds behind, Johannes Strolls 1.83, both close to the top 10. Dominik Raschner (+2.36), Michael Matt (+2.93) and Joshua Sturm (+3.12) are further behind. Adrian Bertl was dismissed.
