Lindsey Vonn, a Park City resident who lists her hometown as Vail, Colo., finished eighth at a World Cup super-G in Italy on Monday. Sweden's Jessica Lindell-Vikarby was first, marking her first World Cup victory.
While Vonn missed her winning target, she extended her lead in the Audi FIS World Cup to 104 points.
Vonn expanded her overall lead in the Audi FIS World Cup Sunday, finishing 10th in a giant slalom in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Vonn was fifth out of the first run, but some contact with snow on the course slowed her down. Megan McJames of Park City did not qualify for a second run.
On Saturday, Vonn finished second to Switzerland's Dominique Gisin in Cortina by 15-hundredths of a second.
Ryan St. Onge of Winter Park, Colo., and Jana Lindsey of Black Hawk, S.D., took the lead for the U.S. on Sunday, finishing seventh and eighth in an aerials World Cup in Quebec. Steve Omischl of Canada and Lydia Lassila of Australia won.
St. Onge, the defending national champion in aerials, was coming off a fifth-place finish in Lake Placid's World Cup last week. Lindsey has also picked up momentum with two top 10s so far this season. Lacy Schnoor of Draper was ninth in the women's division.
In Kitzbuehel, Austria, a number of top finishers from a first run cracked under pressure, and Julien Lizeroux of France won his first Audi FIS WorldCup Sunday. No Americans finished.
Ted Ligety of Park City was the only athlete to qualify for a second run after skiing19th-fastest. Bode Miller of Franconia, N.H., straddled a gate. On Saturday, Miller was the top American in the Hannenkahm downhill, tying for fourth. Ligety was 37th and Bryon Friedman of Park City was 45th. T.J. Lanning of Park City did not finish.
And on Friday, Andrew Weibrecht of Lake Placid, N.Y. went all out to finish 11th for a career best in super-G. Miller was 21st and Ligety was 29th. Lanning and Friedman did not finish.
A week earlier in Alta Badia, Italy, after dialing in the third-fastest first run of the day, Ligety finished fourth overall in a World Cup giant slalom.
"I skied well. I just made a pretty big mistake in the soft snow on the second run," Ligety said. "Still, first run was awesome. This is my favorite giant slalom hill. It would have been nice to get on the podium, but fourth is always nice anyway."
Jake Zamansky of Park City was 24th and Miller did not finish his second run.
In mid-January, in a men's slalom in Switzerland, Ligety had the eighth-fastest first run, but approached the second run a bit more conservatively to finish 12th. Miller qualified for a second run, but went out midway down. Also in Switzerland, Miller finished second in a downhill, while Steven Nyman of Provo and Lanning did not finish.
In the first ski cross event at Lake Placid, N.Y., Daron Rahlves of Sugar Bowl, Calif., was fifth and Casey Puckett of Aspen was 14th. In the women's event, Kate Bragg of Park City was 30th.

Van, second in Saturday's opening jump, came from behind with a strong second jump to win. She was a distant eighth after the first round, but got two strong jumps for the gold. Jessica Jerome was 15th and Alissa Johnson was 17th. Both are from Park City.
In Whistler, B.C., Billy Demong of Vermontville, N.Y., came from behind to take third in the nordic combined. A day earlier, the U.S. veteran was the winner in the first of two Olympic test events at the 2010 venue.
