American Vonn is chasing her fifth super-G World Cup title and came home in 1:16.65 minutes in sunny conditions.
Overall World Cup leader Tina Maze of Slovenia was 0.20 seconds behind and Anna Fenninger of Austria was 0.36 back in third.
Vonn's 65th career win gives her an eight-point lead over Fenninger in the super-G standings, with the last race in the event to take place in Meribel, France, later this month.
And the 30-year-old Vonn, who was seventh in Saturday's downhill, admits it will go down to the wire.
"Yesterday was disappointing so I came out with the right attitude," she said. "It's going to be a close fight. I'll have to ski my best and I hope I can get two titles."
Meanwhile, Maze increased her lead over Fenninger in the overall alpine skiing World Cup standings to 44 points.
"She [Fenninger] has been putting a lot of pressure on me. I knew I had a good run," said Maze.
"It's in difficult moments that you can show your character and I did today. I had a very good run, I was ready."
