Giant slalom (GS) is an alpine skiing and alpine snowboarding competitive discipline. It involves racing between sets of poles ("gates") spaced at a greater distance from each other than in slalom but less than in Super-G.

His best performance in any event was fourth in the Super-G; he also finished fifth in the downhill and ninth in the combined.
