Warner Nickerson (Gilford, N.H.) placed second in the final NorAm Cup giant slalom of the season on Tuesday.

The race, held at Waterville Valley in New Hampshire, was won by 2010 U.S. Olympic Team member Tommy Ford (Bend, Ore.).

Nickerson led the pack after the first run by nearly a half second. Ford’s second run helped him get past Nickerson for the top spot by .14 seconds.

The overall NorAm Cup GS title was awarded to Sweden’s Jon Olsson. Nolan Kasper (Warren, Vt.) tied Norway’s Petter Brenna to take silver. Kasper and Brenna trailed Olsson by 13 points.

Kasper placed eighth in Tuesday’s race, while Ben Morse (Carabasset Valley, Maine) did not finish.

The men have Wednesday off while the women race GS. The men’s NorAm Cup Finals slalom is scheduled for Thursday.
