Vonn, looking for her fourth consecutive overall title, has already won the downhill, super-G and super combined titles but trails close friend Reisch by 23 points in the overall standings.

"All in all, it was a solid training run and I'm happy that I got one good one through the finish," said Vonn, who admitted being a little conservative after making mistakes in Monday's first training session.

"It gives me more confidence."

Reisch finished 0.61 seconds behind Vonn.
