\u201cSo I was pretty shocked to see the big green light at the finish, but obviously I\u2019m so grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinson admitted that she wasn\u2019t feeling very confident coming into the week after an eighth-placed finish in the first giant slalom of the season last month at Soelden, which was won by Scheib.<\/p>\n
\u201cI honestly felt pretty gutted about Soelden and I think in the past I\u2019d always let poor prior performances affect my performance,\u201d Robinson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I really wanted to prove it to myself that, okay, Soelden wasn\u2019t great but you can pick yourself up … so I\u2019m really proud of myself that I could break through that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shiffrin, tied for 18th after the first run, delighted home fans with a storming second effort that briefly vaulted her to the lead but she was ultimately 2.08s off the pace.<\/p>\n
The American remains atop the overall standings with 268 points, 50 ahead of Albanian Lara Colturi with Scheib in third on 180.<\/p>\n
Scheib leads the giant slalom standings with 180 points with Robinson second on 132.<\/p>\n
The alpine World Cup circuit is back at Copper Mountain this year for the first time since 2001. Men skied a super-G and giant slalom on Thursday and Friday (local time) and women will conclude the week\u2019s action on Sunday (local time) with a slalom.<\/p>\n
