Tablet Sales Growing More Than Expected: IDC Raises Its Forecast
Tablet Sales Growing More Than Expected: IDC Raises Its Forecast
Todd R. Weiss
Posted 2012-09-20
Some 117 million tablet computers will be sold in 2012 around the world and another 165 million will be purchased in 2013, based on newly-increased sales forecasts from IDC.
With tablet computers flying off the shelves around the world as 2012 comes to a close, research firm IDC has revised its sales forecasts for tablet sales through 2013, raising its numbers substantially based on strong consumer demand. In its latest
Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker report
, IDC hiked its forecast for the worldwide tablet market in 2012 to 117.1 million units, up from its previous forecast of 107.4 million units for the year. At the same time, IDC also revised and raised forecast numbers for 2013, increasing the expected number of tablets sold to 165.9 million units from its original estimate of 142.8 million units. The new report was released Sept. 19.
That market growth will continue, according to IDC's data, with worldwide shipments by 2016 expected to reach 261.4 million units.
"Despite ongoing economic concerns in most regions of the world, consumers continue to buy tablets in record numbers and we expect particularly strong demand in the fourth quarter," Tom Mainelli, a mobile connected devices analyst with IDC, said in a statement. "Apple leads the market with its iPad and we expect its dominance to continue in the second half of the year. Still, we believe there is room in the market for others to find success, and new Android- and Windows-based products shipping in the coming months will give consumers plenty of buying options during the holiday season." Apple tablets took 57.2 percent of the market in 2011, according to IDC, and will capture about 60 percent in 2012. By 2016, Apple is expected to slip back to about 58 percent of the market as competitors raise their challenges. In 2011, Android had a 38.9 percent market share, which will slip to 35.3 percent in 2012, IDC reports. Android's share will decline to 30.5 percent by 2016.
Meanwhile, Windows tablets (including Windows 7 tablets today and upcoming Windows 8 and RT models) will grow from about 1 percent of the market in 2011 to 4 percent in 2012, according to IDC. By 2016, Windows tablets are expected to capture 11 percent of the market. "Tablets running Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 and RT operating systems, including the company's own Surface tablets, will add some momentum," Jennifer Song, an IDC research analyst, said in a statement. "However, we expect shipments to remain low in the fourth quarter as high prices and consumer confusion around these devices will limit their appeal. Also, in the second half of the year Android should benefit from the success of the Nexus 7 and Amazon's launch of new Kindle Fires." At the same time, IDC reported that e-reader sales forecasts for 2012 are being "significantly lowered" due to the arrival of more flexible tablet computers that be purchased by users for less than $200. Those inexpensive tablets will help cause 2012 e-reader shipments to top out at 23.6 million units, down from the 27.7 million units that shipped in 2011, according to IDC. A similar report in April by Futuresource Consulting forecast tablet sales in the United States to
grow by 200 percent through 2016
. Global tablet sales exceeded 64 million units in 2011 and are on track to soar to 232 million units in 2016, based on the company's Tablet Technology and Markets report. The Futuresource report agreed that tablets have cannibalized the demand for netbooks, but consumers still see the tablet device as an addition to conventional PCs or Macs rather than a replacement.

Pine River Recreation Trail
Richland County's incredible river bluff country can be hard on a bicyclist's legs. On the Pine River Trail you can take a lazy ride up a lazy river and enjoy bluff scenery without having to ride over it. Along the way you'll cross 15 bridges that span the meandering Pine and its tributaries. One bridge is a whopping 241 feet long. Between Richland Center and Lone Rock you'll be treated to views of green-forested bluffs lining the broad valleys of the Pine and Wisconsin Rivers. The river backwaters are havens for great blue herons, egrets, turtles and other wildlife. Town Parks in Gotham and Lone Rock offer pleasant rest stops. At Fireman's Park, on the south side of Lone Rock, you can swim in a backwater slough of the Wisconsin River. Future plans for the trail call for extending it another mile-and-a-half north. There, an old depot will be restored as the new trailhead and Richland Area Chamber/Main Street Partnership headquarters. All the better for exploring the antique shops and bakery in the town's historic downtown. Richland Center is where Frank Lloyd Wright was born. It is also the location of one of his architectural masterpieces. In 1915 he built a warehouse like none other before or since for local merchant A.D. German. Guided tours of the building are available by appointment (call 608/647-2808).

The hotel is a strange mix. The service and food were excellent. The staff were friendly and very helpful and, as we had an early start, breakfast was served especially early for us. However, the rooms are tired and really weren't cleaned properly. There were hairs all over the bathroom. Perhaps a new cleaner is required (or new glasses for... More

I live in St. Louis Missouri and I cant seem to find the CC laws of St. Louis. I know Missouri allows CC with a permit but what Im not sure about is all the little cities/ neighborhoods in St. Louis. I know St. Louis is weird in the city of St. Louis has St. Louis city laws and St. Louis county laws then there are laws that each neighborhood inside of the city or county has too.
For example: I think Manchester allows CC but Ellisvile doesnt both are in St. Louis county and both are adjacent to each other but one allows CC and the other doesnt. This means that I could carry on one side of the street and be illegal on the other side of the street..
Does anyone know where to find the restricted areas in st. Louis?
I found the state laws here:
RSMO-Chapter 571
but it makes no reference to city ordinances

Well.... the fact that there is no "Linux Company" really disturbs some people and amazes others. This question shows how many people misunderstand the Linux development process and how people expect all products (except for maybe shareware) to be developed inside companies and then sold. The people who make up the Linux Community (as close to an all-inclusive organization as Linux has come) showcase the power of the Internet to bring people together to produce something useful and are the antithesis of the crackers who use the Internet for vandalism and destruction.
The answer to this is "sort of". Most free software for Unix is available for Linux. In addition, many software companies are selling their products for use under Linux—for example, the advertisers in this magazine. Finally, Linux has SCO, SVR3, and SVR4 emulation, so it is possible to run SCO, SVR3, and SVR4 binaries under Linux.
See the articles "The Roger Maris Cancer Center—Depending on Linux" (Issue 5, Sept. 1994), "Linux in Antarctica" (Issue 7, Nov. 1994), and "Virginia Power—Linux Hard at Work" (Issue 9, Jan. 1995) for real life examples of how people are using Linux. (These articles—and more—are available in The Linux Sampler published by SSC.) This is not to say that they grab the newest patches off the net as soon as they arrive and install them willy-nilly on their systems without testing, but that with ordinary caution (all systems are breakable, no matter what the operating system) Linux is viable.
No one really knows, since no one is required to register their copies. However, the CD distributors are shipping approximately 30,000-40,000 copies a month, which does not include the people who download Linux from the Internet or who borrow their friend's distribution. Some have estimated that around a million people currently use Linux; whatever the number is, it is growing every day.
And finally,
Answer: "Um, I think that I see one of the speakers from the Linux conference coming this way. I'm sure he'll be able to answer your question."
Kim Johnson is a graduate student in mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She spends her spare time keeping her husband from spending more money than they have on excess computer equipment.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Golden Wings Snaffle bit #2262
English Bridle AccFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Stubben
Model: Golden Wings Snaffle bit #2262
Category: English Bridle Acc
Purchase: Bought Stubben Golden Wings bit on-line from VTO Saddlery for $64.95 plus $4.95 S/H. Shipping was fast and item was as described. I purchased snaffle after experiencing issues with my horse including head-tossing, drifting out, and other issues typically bit related. I ordered the double jointed snaffle as my horse has a low arch to her palette.
Likes: Bit is GORGEOUS! My horse accepted bit and immediately started to lick. I got her a 5", which she normally wears, and the fit on the outside and inside of her mouth is perfect! The "wings" encircle the ring and completely protect her mouth from any pinching. The "MAGIC" began when we went into the arena... I was on a different horse! No more head-tossing, drifting out... just a wonderfully happy horse! She was so willing and so capable! So, not only does this bit look COOL, it is an amazing piece of equipment that is the one of the BEST investments I have ever made outside of my saddles! I truly believe that this bit is extremely important in the performance of my girl! You gotta get one!!!
Dislikes: NOTHING! Reasonable price... incredible investment!
Quality: This bit is heavy-duty and well made! I LOVE Stubben and have yet to receive an item that is not of the utmost quality and durability. Again, it is heavy-duty.
Summary: Your horse will be so very grateful to have this bit! I would not have believed the difference had I not experienced it personally. It fits well and it works beautifully. You gotta get this bit!!

Keywords: Hilton Head Island oceanfront vacation home, Beachfront holiday rental house, Luxury vacation homes, North Forest Beach oceanfront, executive private rental property
We enthusiastically recommend Halcyon Days to anyone considering renting an oceanfront vacation house on Hilton Head Island. We used every room in the house - 6 couples, one single adult, two children and a baby. Everyone (well, except the baby) raved upon arrival, seeing the great room & huge windows overlooking the beautiful beach and ocean. Everyone continued to rave upon seeing the rest of the house - nothing but praise throughout our weeklong stay. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and a terrific kitchen/dining room/great room for gathering. It's a well thought out setup - a refined yet relaxed decor, a big basket of towels by the beach-side door, three refrigerators on the main floor, two washers and dryers, two (two!) elevators for easy unloading & loading, etc, etc, etc. André and Rosie were most helpful and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely stay at Halcyon Days again, and hopefully we'll do it soon.
-- The D Family, Maryland
"We built Halcyon Days, completing it in June 2004, to compliment our 6 bedroom rental home, Yellowdog by the Sea. Both houses are on the same beach, on Hilton Head Island. The 8 bedroom 8.5 bathroom configuration, with the over 7,500 sq. ft. size has been an incredible hit with larger families, multi generational families and executive. North Forest Beach on Hilton Head Island is the perfect location for an oceanfront beach home and for an oceanfront vacation."

PUBLISHED: 14 Mar 2013 00:34:01 | UPDATED: 14 Mar 2013 00:34:01PUBLISHED: 14 Mar 2013 PRINT EDITION: 14 Mar 2013Visitors to Shinique Smith's studio in Hudson, New York, learn not to leave stray articles of clothing lying around when Smith is working. Items might get swept up into multi-patterned sculptures of cast-off clothing bound with rope in monumental bales or cloudlike bundles dangling from the ceiling, or collaged into exuberant paintings with calligraphic graffiti and colourful fields of pigment and fabric.

The old franchise marketing programs designed for the Internet as it was in 2005 are no longer effective.

Google Adwords Trademarks Rules Damage Advertisers on Plural/Singular Broad Matches.
Trademark/Brands are protected from confusingly similar derivatives in the real world. I don't expect Google to become an arbiter of trademarks, but this case (it is a real case, just as absurd) they should consider the spirit of trademark law especially considering how their match types work.

PF Changs' System A Free Lesson for Mom and Pop Restaurants
You know, sometimes business secrets don't require much effort to find. The fruits of dozens of locations, millions of dollars in training development, and years of experience can focus on a single experience that's presented right in front of you to observe. You don't have to copy any one system, but you need a system, with rewards and consequences for your staff. PF Changs' Chinese Bistro is one such example of a system that makes a place remarkable that all restaurateurs should take note of.

Ibiza Town , Ibiza

Tel: 34 971 301 202
Concierge.com's insider take:
This enchanting walled garden shaded by purple bougainvillea, ivy, and palm trees on the edge of the D'Alt Vila in Ibiza Town is a classic—though it's better not to veer into the more ambitious-sounding dishes on the menu. But for a steak perfectly grilled over hot coals—robust and deeply flavoured, with a properly charred crust and a pink, juicy middle—nowhere beats it. It's also worth saving room for homemade desserts by the boss man's 84-year-old grandmother.Tara Stevens

I am pretty much with everyone else. I would dig it more if it was larger and in the center.

I've been waiting every day waiting for a van to come. Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun to come. Come on walrus don't let your knickers down, we are all together. ... High hopes that this shirt will grace the presence of my daily woot search. coo coo kachu!

Re: Scare Bears vs Unicorn
This is freakin awesome! I like the idea, design, and drawing a lot. Honestly, the only reason you're not getting more votes is the color, or lack of it. Wooters don't like creme very much. Also, you could probably crop your thumbnail even smaller around the picture, so that you can see more of the detail. People really can't make out anything from your thumbnail, so they are less likely to click on it. Keep up the good work!
IndependentVik wrote:Great illustration! I'm tempted to vote for this, even though I once described all dragon tees as being slightly lamer than parking tickets. Maybe my monitor's slightly out-of-whack, David, could you let me know what color shirt this is on?
Royal Blue. There's baby blue, royal blue, and navy. It would be the middle. I have tried to configure my monitor to a universal standard for color, so that people viewing my designs see what I see, but this is a lot harder than you would think.

Re: David and Goliath
I know my Calvin and Hobbes, and this is taken directly from Calvin and Hobbes. The swinging David is from the strip where Calvin fails to hit a baseball, leaves, and comes back with a golf club instead. It's not just a similarity, it's a blatant copy. Offhand I can't place the Goliath one, but I have no doubt that's from C+H too.

it's not only about my dislike of this design. i want to point out this design, if the words to describe it had NOT been inserted, would have failed in this voting round. why do you think an important part of the challenge was the NO TEXT rule? it fails in the ability, with an absence of explanatory text, to send an unmistakable message without the wearer having to, as has been pointed out by many commenters here, explain what the shirt means to casual observers. having to explain multiple times every occasion you wear something gets old quick, and the shirt ends up in the bottom of the closet. epic I am an un-original person.

After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root. However, this is very insufficient, because it only ensures that the library can be found at runtime. Nothing (e.g., setting PATH so that it includes foo-config, adjusting pkgconfig path, or, in the worst case, setting LDFLAGS) is done to ensure that the packages that need the library can find it at the build time. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2457> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - After the Atlanta Braves rallied in the eighth, the Upton brothers brought them home in the ninth.
B.J. Upton homered off Carlos Marmol to tie the contest, and brother Justin crushed his second homer of the game two batters later to cap the comeback and give the Braves a 6-5 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
Atlanta trailed 5-1 after seven innings, but scored three runs in the eighth. Eric O'Flaherty (1-0) picked up the win with a scoreless top of the ninth.
Marmol (0-1) recorded just a single out in the ninth.
"It's tough. I've been through it," said Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva, who was in line for the win before Marmol blew the save. "I just hope he (Marmol) understands that we've only had five games."
B.J. Upton was having a rough start to his Braves career, coming into the contest 0-for-14 with nine strikeouts. However, he broke out of the slump on Saturday with two hits, and his game-tying homer set the stage for Justin Upton's game winner.
"I mean it was just a great team effort," said B.J. Upton. "We're down late in the game and we stayed in it, piece together that eighth inning and came back and got it done in the ninth."
Justin Upton had three hits and delivered a solo homer in the first, and his leadoff double in the eighth sparked a three-run inning to help the Braves cut their deficit to 5-4.
Freeman drove him home on a ground ball to right and Dan Uggla followed with a single before Kyuji Fujikawa walked Gerald Laird to load the bases. Ramiro Pena then came through with a two-run single to cut the Cubs' lead to one.
Chicago had the bases loaded with no one out in the top half of the frame, but were unable to score. The Cubs had a runner in scoring position in the ninth as well, but stranded Welington Castillo at second when Alberto Gonzalez struck out to end the inning.
Nate Schierholtz gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead in the first after he drove home David DeJesus with a two-out single. DeJesus reached on a double when his line drive into right was mishandled by Jason Heyward.
After Justin Upton's solo homer in the bottom half tied the game, the Braves stranded a runner on base in each of the next six innings.
The Cubs jumped back in front on Luis Valbuena's solo homer in the fourth and extended their edge to 5-1 in the fifth, picking up two runs on Anthony Rizzo's homer to right. Two batters later, Schierholtz doubled and then came around to score on Castillo's single to center.
Villanueva made his Cubs debut and pitched well, allowing just one run on six hits in 6 2/3 innings. He also had six strikeouts.
Julio Teheran had a successful spring for the Braves, but it didn't translate into his first start of the season. In five innings pitched, he gave up five runs on eight hits.

Importation of wild beluga whales – NOAA explains the process
There are times when we all want to pull our hair out at the gummed-up molasses pace of government – it is both frustrating and discouraging. But other times, such as now, government agencies seem to re-invent themselves and respond quickly to public concerns. In this case NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) took the […]

The Reality of Dart Tagging the Southern Resident Killer Whales – it is Invasive and Disruptive
For decades we have offered them protection from intentional harm, and there are individual whales in this population who have never experienced being shot, harassed, or netted. They are amazingly tolerant of our activities and interest in them, and never harm us. So the question is, can we now justify applying painful tags to their dorsal fins in order to acquire data? Is it not a breach of the trust we offer them?

VA's Jan Frye explains the rationale behind the department's Acquisition Academy
Jan R. Frye is the senior procurement executive at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
I couldn't be happier with the success of the Department of Veterans Affairs' Acquisition Academy, the award-winning program that develops our acquisition workforce. It's important to remember that we created this program out of necessity.
The issue surfaced earlier this month when Steve Kelman, a former administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, wrote in his blog at FCW.com that the VA academy should be able to offer its services to other agencies, thereby creating competition with the Federal Acquisition Institute and Defense Acquisition University. Some readers who commented on his blog post wondered why VA decided to take this route rather than simply send employees to FAI or DAU.
I want to take the opportunity to set the record straight. Before launching the academy, we consulted with leaders at the Office of Management and Budget, the General Services Administration, FAI and DAU and shared our vision for creating a holistic learning model based on a mixture of competency-driven online and classroom courses.
Frankly, investing resources in developing and managing an academy was not our first choice. However, given the positive feedback and results, it was the right one. Our original intent was to focus exclusively on the VA acquisition workforce, but we are certainly open to serving the needs of other federal agencies. The academy still partners with FAI and DAU when it makes sense but has added courses tailored to civilian buying habits. We also have a robust program/project management curriculum.
VA's internship program is part of a long-term succession planning strategy to build quality from the ground up and retain that talent for years to come. The intern program also addresses a common governmentwide practice of prematurely promoting people into higher-level roles before they are properly seasoned. Most senior acquisition executives agree that this practice dilutes the effectiveness of the acquisition process.
Kelman is correct that competition — versus monopolies — in any sector can drive both innovation and improvement. Although GSA officials consistently object to the proliferation of services that they feel entitled to provide, we suggest they consider more flexible, customer-driven models, whether in the area of governmentwide contracts or training.
In addition to the successes at the academy, we have developed a strong acquisition career management program. In 2005, OFPP directed all agencies to appoint an acquisition veteran to manage the staffing, training and development needs of the acquisition workforce. At VA, we take this issue very seriously, and the individual we appointed to oversee those efforts has a doctorate degree, a master's degree in acquisition management and 24 years of hands-on experience in federal procurement.
In addition to raising Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting rates to the 97th percentile, the Acquisition Career Management Office has created an empirical staffing tool, business intelligence capability, online FAC-C application and warrant system, and applied learning center to objectively assess competency levels. OMB has lauded each of those tools as best practices in career management.
VA acquisition is not perfect by any means. However, through the vision and support of our leaders and the dedication of our hard-working contracting officers, we are making progress. We welcome informed critiques and invite those critics to join the team to help improve our business processes.

By the way, who is this individual that was appointed? After 40 yrs of Fed Contracting I know a few individuals who could possibly fit that description. His name should be in the public record.
The VA Procurment System is broken. Mr. Frye is trying to change this, however there are contracting personnel put in jobs who have not a clue about true contracting processes. These individual are put in position because of favortism. The contracting workforce at the working level will not change until a gained respect is earned by upper mangement in the VA contracting Chain. I feel for the personnel at the working level with lack of training and understanding of the contracting process. The academy is a first step but ther must be experienced educated personnel at the work place to train. Presently they call it the VA WAY!!
What Mr. Frye fails to mention in his response is the fact that the individual he lauds as "the individual we appointed to oversee those efforts has a doctorate degree, a master's degree in acquisition management and 24 years of hands-on experience in federal procurement." was also under investigation for falsifying his own FAC-C level 3 certificate from the program he developed, and has left the agency after being removed as the Director of Acquisition Policy, but remaining in the very position where he created his own false FAC-C certificate. The individual also forged a GSA Procurement Officials name in creating his fake certificate. This individual was also appointed as ACM by an official who did not have the authority to appoint him. The academy is only another way for VA to use taxpayer dollars with no return on the investment.

Are Gnarls Barkley 'Crazy' Enough to Reunite? Possibly!
Cee Lo Green indicates a 2014 reunion in a TMZ airport interview
Start penciling a Gnarls Barkley reunion onto your 2014 calendars. Cee Lo Green, asked by a TMZ airport ambush interviewer if he'll be reviving his duo with Danger Mouse, can be seen in the video below answering, "Yeah, man — like, next year." TMZ ambush interview: "Really?" Cee Lo: "Yeah." It's not quite an official press release, but there you have it.
It's not as if either Cee Lo or Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton have lacked for projects since Gnarls Barkley's 2008 album The Odd Couple. When not putting out solo albums or reuniting Atlanta rap crew Goodie Mob, Green has been a coach on The Voice. He even published a memoir this year, titled Everybody's Brother. Danger Mouse's Broken Bells effort with the Shins' James Mercer has a new album, After the Disco, on the way on January 14 via Columbia Records. That's on top of production work with Frank Ocean and the Black Keys.
If a hinted OutKast reunion at Coachella 2014 actually happens, it would make sense for Gnarls Barkley — whose members met on tour with the legendary rap duo — to show up there, too. But before you make any last-minute changes to your Christmas list, please bear in mind this is all via TMZ aiport video at this point, meaning it could be 100 percent accurate, or it could be Lil Wayne receiving his last rites.

Trek World Racing's Tracy Moseley and Andrew Neething took the men's and women's downhill, repeating last week's reign of the Pro GRT. Jill Kintner and Brendan Fairclough won the giant slalom.
Source: Trek World Racing press release
At this weekend's US Open at Diablo Freeride Park in Vernon, N.J, Andrew Neethling and Tracy Moseley made a repeat of last week's win at the Pro Gravity DH #2 by winning the downhill events. Jill Kintner (Transition Racing) and Brendan Fairclough (Monster Energy/Specialized) won giant slalom.
With $55,000 in cash and prizes, the US Open is notable for paying a large pro rider purse, making it a popular stop for the top riders every May.
In the women's downhill event, after finishing second in qualifying, Moseley went up against Melissa Buhl (KHS Bicycles) and Kintner, who had crashed on the finishing line in qualifying but was able to race the final. In finals, Moseley won with a half-second lead over Kintner, followed one-hundredth of a second behind by Buhl.
Moseley, who was competing at the US Open for the first time, said she was happy with her performance in the top section, but encountered trouble exiting the woods.
"I slid out exiting the woods and it felt like I had flatted," Moseley said. "So I rode a bit cautiously for a little while after that. When I realized it wasn't actually a flat I attacked the last section really hard. I'm very happy to win here."
In the men's downhill qualifiers, Neethling was third behind Mick Hannah and Gee Atherton (Commencal), but managed to win in the finals by half a second.
"After qualifying I knew I had a chance at the win today and my goal was to go for it," Neethling said. "For sure, I was a bit nervous at the start, but that's normal against such a world class field. My game plan was to be smooth and keep the flow exiting the woods because after practice in the morning I realized that being too aggressive in the rock section wasn't going to pay off. I punched hard to the finish in the open section, and to be honest, I am absolutely over the moon."
In the women's giant slalom, Jill Kintner led qualifying, trailed behind by Buhl and Moseley. The order in finals went unchanged from the qualifying round, with Kintner finishing a full second ahead of Buhl and more than two seconds ahead of Moseley.
In the men's giant slalom, Fairclough pulled off a narrow win by a tenth of a second over Mitch Ropelato (Ex Drinks) and Troy Brosnan (Monster Energy/Specialized) in third.
