Vincent Kriechmayr won a disorderly alpine domain transfuse super-G at beaver away Creek on fri as Swiss star Marco Odermatt settled for fifth and downhill world champion Franjo von Allmen crashed in a race cut short after multiple weather interruptions.
Austria's Kriechmayr, starting sixth, clocked 1min 06.77sec on the Birds of Prey course and beat Norwegian Fredrik Moeller by 56-hundredths of a second.
Austrian Raphael Haaser was third, 1.03sec off the pace, followed by Dominik Paris and Odermatt, the four-time defending overall World Cup champion who won the Beaver Creek downhill on Thursday.
Organizers had moved up the downill and super-G by a day in the hopes of avoiding predicted storms.
But Friday's race was delayed an hour by fog and interrupted by heavy snowfall. Officials finally called a halt after 31 racers had started. That was enough to make Kriechmayr's victory official, although only 25 skiers finished.
Switzerland's von Allmen started 14th and with conditions deteriorating he crashed heavily. He was able to ski to the finish area under his own power as the race was paused and then resumed.
Kriechmayr, 34, captured his 19th World Cup victory. It was his 10th in super-G, but his first in the discipline since 2024 in Kvitfjell.
"Of course, my skiing I think was pretty good," said Kriechmayr, who was runner-up to Odermatt in the Copper Mountain super-G last week.
"The race was pretty tough. I think the first 14 racers they had similar conditions, but after the break and after the cash from Franjo, it wasn't that fair anymore, I have to tell the truth.
"Of course we want to have similar conditions for everyone. I'm happy about my skiing, but for sure I want to have another victory than this one."
Odermatt remained atop the overall standings with 345 points with Kriechmayr second on 227 and Haaser third on 178.
Odermatt has three wins in five races so far in a season that will be highlighted by the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics in February.
After the changes to the week's schedule, Saturday is slated to be an off day with a giant slalom still scheduled for Sunday.
