American skiers took advantage ad-vantage of the friendly climate at Aspen last weekend to record two victories vic-tories in the only five World Cup races scheduled on the North American continent this season. In another classic duel with Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark, Phil Mahre of the United States turned in a nearly flawless second run to win Saturday's giant slalom by 14 hundredths of a second. Stenmark led Mahre by 19 hundredths after the first run, but got caught on his inside in-side ski near the bottom of the course on the second run and lost valuable time to his American rival. Stenmark and Mahre were clearly the class of the field: they finished more than two seconds ahead of the third-place third-place racer. Third place'? That was taken by Phil's twin brother Steve. In the overall World Cup standings, Phil is now only 26 points behind Stenmark with 234 points to the Swede's 260. Downhill specialist Peter Mueller remains in third place with 140 points, and Steve Mahre has moved into fourth with 127. The next American finisher in Saturday's giant slalom was University of Utah racer Scott Hoffman. He was 28th. Meanwhile, California's Tamary McKinney strengthened her claim as the top woman on the World Cup giant slalom circuit by coming from behind to win Sunday's race at Aspen. McKinney was in fifth place after the first run, but turned on the afterburners during her second run to defeat Erika Hess of Switzerland by half a second. Cindy Nelson was the next American, finishing fifth. The win for McKinney widened her lead in the World Cup giant slalom standings to 18 points over her closest rival, Marie Theres Nadig. McKinney now has 100 points, Nadig has 82, and Irene Epple is third with 68. The overall women's World Cup standings show Nadig on top with 273 points, followed by Erika Hess with 213. Sun Valley's Christ in Cooper is seventh with 163 points and McKinney is eighth with 151. Cindy Nelson is 10th with 146. The Americans did not fare as well in the three downhill races held at Aspen last week. In the two men's races held Thursday and Friday, the top local finisher was Doug Powell of Chap-paqua, Chap-paqua, N.Y. Powell took a ninth place on Friday and 16th Thursday. Sun Valley s Pete Patterson was lHh in Tnursday's race. Valery Tsygonov of the Soviet Union had the fastest time on Thursday, scoring the first World Cup win ever tor a Russian skier. Harti Weirathcr of Austria was second Thursday, then came back to win Friday's race by 28 hundredths ol a second over Canada's Steve Pod-liorski. Pod-liorski. However, the American women wo-men dounhill skiers put on a better show for the hometown crowd. Cindy Nelson took a third place, just edging teammate Holly Flanders. The top time was posted by Austria's Elizabeth Kirch-ler. Kirch-ler. Slalom specialist Christ in Cooper posted her best downhill score ever by finishing 14th. The World Cuppers are now in Furano, Japan, where slalom and giant slalom competition is scheduled this weekend for Ixith men and women. r cm -re Coors American IPro T Europeans dominate at Alpine Meadows rarip For the first time this season, it was the Europeans who dominated the action on the Coors American Pro Tour with Karlheinz Strobl of West Germany leading the way. Strobl, 22, was the front-runner front-runner in a sweep of the top three places at the $15,000 Hexcel-Hanson Cup giant slalom at Alpine Meadows, Calif. March 1. The rookie professional defeated Austria's Aus-tria's Berhard Schwaiger in the championship round to collect the $2,000 first-place prize money, while Bonvin Didier of France was awarded award-ed third place when David CI weland of Boulder, Colo, fell in the second of their two runs in the consolation bracket. In fact. 14 of the 32 racers in the championships bracket brack-et hailed from points outside the United States and wasted no time in showing their talents. As is often typical of rookie pros, Strobl has spent much of the season toiling to adjust to the dual course format. "It's difficult when you have a partner beside you. But it's better for me now." That was the understatement understate-ment as Strobl moved through the ranks with ease en route to the victory. He took two runs from Wayne Wright, the No. 2 man entering the weekend in the opening round followed by two from Dave Oswald. Kurt Belden fell in the first run of the quarterfinals against the German, giving Strobl a comfortable 1.6 second advantage ad-vantage that Belden could not erase. Strobl then again swept both runs from Didier to set up the final with Schwaiger. Schwaiger, 25, meanwhile had ousted Thomas Karls-son, Karls-son, Geoff Bruce, Hans Krautschneider and David Cleveland in almost identical fashion. Only against Bruce did he lose a run. In the championship round, Schwaiger etched out a hefty .486 margin in the first of two matchups, but Strobl came storming back to win by an equally impressive im-pressive .580 for the title. Cleveland helped keep the overall standings race tight as he eliminated both tour leader Greg Snider and Jim Hudson en route to his fourth place finish. Snider was ousted in the Round of 32 and Hudson in the quarterfinals. But Snider still holds the overall lead with 195 points, while Hudson moved back into second place at 170. Wright is third with 165. Snider also became the first racer in the history of the CAPT to crack the $10,000 mark in prize money in one season. With the $250 he earned at Alpine Meadows, Snider has a total of $10,050 this winter. The tour traveled south to Mammoth Mountain for the Carrera Cup giant slalom March 4 8, where both European Euro-pean and American pros raced for a piece of the $15,000 purse. with the winner to play North Rich (the Division II champion) cham-pion) for the region championship. cham-pionship. Using their height to good advantage, the Tintic Miners pulled ahead by eight points after three periods, then held off an Altamont rally to win 49-46. Sophomore sensation Daren Yadon led the Miners with 17 points, while junior Lindon Hansen scored 15 for Altamont. Tintic now will meet North Rich in the championship game at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
