U.S. Alpine Skiing National Championships - Volcanic Ash, New Snow!

Lindsey Vonn and David Chodounsky won the U.S. Slalom titles after 7" of snow covered the ash that had fallen overnight in between races!  Volcanic ash from Mount Redoubt in Alaska reached Mt. Alyeska after the men's race Saturday but was then covered by snow before the women's race Sunday!!
