By Published On: January 16th, 2013Comments Off on Teller races to second career Ski Cross World Cup win

After battling weather delays and multiple schedule changes, John Teller soared to victory at the Ski Cross World Cup in Megeve, France.

Teller, an X Games champion, won his first World Cup nearly two years ago to the day in St. Johann, Austria.

Teammate Joe Swensson finished in seventh for Team USA Ski Cross.

“I seriously was just having a blast skiing the course,” said Teller. “I am stoked for my teammate Joe [Swensson] as well. I think this is the best U.S. finish ever. I knew I was skiing this course faster than everyone so it is good to get back on the top step. Mister momentum is in my pocket now.”

The team heads to Grasgehren, Germany for the next World Cup stop Feb. 1-3.
