Vail Colorado: News |
| VAL D'ISERE, France - Vail's Lindsey Vonn capped a successful weekend with a third-place finish in a super G that helped her to reclaim the sole lead of the overall World Cup standings barely two months before the Vancouver Olympics.
Following her victory in Friday's super combined, Vonn made mistakes in the upper part of the Oreiller-Killy course on Sunday, but finished strong to gain a spot on the podium. Franzi Aufdenblatten posted her first World Cup victory, leading Nadia Styger to a 1-2 Swiss finish with Vonn 0.26 seconds off the pace.

The number of gallons per person used daily in Denver and other South Platte River basin cities decreased 13.6 percent between 2000 and 2008, to 178 gallons from 206 gallons.
Water use in Colorado Springs and Arkansas River basin communities decreased during that time by 11.2 percent to 190 gallons, down from 214.
The catch: Population growth still is pushing total water use up - and state officials project shortages.
Residents of western Colorado on average consume more gallons per person each day.
Water use rose to 256 gallons per person in the ... |
