Manuel Feller finished second in the last slalom of the year in Saalbach.
The crystal ball winner made up several places with an unleashed drive in the second round and ended up only behind Norwegian Timon Haugan, who crossed the finish line with a lead of 44 hundredths after half-time.
The last place on the podium goes to the German Linus Straßer (+0.44).
Haugan not only ensures the first Norwegian victory of the season, but is also the first athlete on VanDeer skis to celebrate a victory this year. It is also his first World Cup success in an individual discipline.
