Bode Miller lost to Jean-Baptiste Grange by 0.79 seconds Sunday in the World Cup slalom opener.
The Frenchman, who led Ted Ligety of the United States by 0.25 and Miller by 0.26 after the first run, had a two-run total of 1:44.49 down Levi's Black Course north of the Arctic Circle.
It was Grange's fourth career slalom victory after winning three races last season.
Ligety made a big mistake about halfway down the mountain and wound up 22nd in 1:50.78.
Benjamin Raich, a gate specialist from Austria who was runner-up behind Miller in the overall standings last year, missed a gate early in the second run and was disqualified. Raich was fourth after the opening run.
Racing conditions were excellent during both runs at Levi, the world's northernmost World Cup venue.
