Switzerland's Ramon Zenhaeusern won the men's World Cup slalom in Chamonix on Saturday in a confidence booster ahead of next week's World Ski Championships.
The Swiss, second fastest down the first run behind France's Clement Noel, clocked a winning aggregate time of 1min 42.94sec.
AJ Ginnis laid down the fastest second run to bag second place, at 1.02 sec, and a first-ever podium finish for Greece.
Zenhaeusern's teammate Daniel Yule rounded out the podium, two-hundredths further adrift, while Noel skied out as he attempted to charge for victory.
The world championships kick off on Monday in the neighbouring French resorts of Courchevel and Meribel.
