Australian alpine skier Jono Brauer will not get the chance to race the slalom in the combined event after crashing out in the downhill.

Brauer, long regarded as Australia's most talented ski racer, was expecting big things on the Kandahar Banchetta course and was aiming for a top ten finish.

But the 24-year-old caught an edge after coming over a roller about 50 seconds into the race.

He crashed into the netting on the right hand side of the course and was automatically scratched from the evening's slalom races.

"I thought I was going all right actually," Brauer said.

"I hit that top section really well, it's what the coaches and I talked about and planned to do and I'm really annoyed that I crashed because I had a pretty decent chance of getting a decent placing tonight."

Brauer is not up again until the last day of competition in the slalom on Saturday, February 25.
