Former overall World Cup winner Nicole Hosp will miss the rest of the season after crashing and injuring her right knee in the opening race.
The Austrian team says Hosp was airlifted by helicopter Saturday off the Rettenbach glacier to a hospital in nearby Innsbruck, where she had ligament surgery on her right knee.
Hosp lost control on the upper section of the giant slalom course and slid downhill headfirst for about 50 yards before coming to a stop.
In January, the 2007 overall winner broke the upper part of her shinbone and tore ligaments in her left knee in a crash in Zagreb, Croatia.
