Brittany Phelan, of Mont-Tremblant, finished in second place on the women’s side.

Canada’s India Sherret raced to her first World Cup gold medal at a ski cross event Friday.

Sherret, from Cranbrook, B.C., won the big final in a time of 55.8 seconds, finishing ahead of Swiss skiers Saskja Lack (55.96) and Talina Gantenbein (56.06).

“I wanted to ski smooth today and to improve the starts,” Thompson said of Saturday’s race. “I learned some things from India’s strong starts yesterday and it was enough to pull it off today when there was some fast skiing from my teammates and the rest of the field.,”

“The team is firing right now and we’re ready to keep it going.”
