Matt, a slalom specialist, finished with a total time of 1 minute, 48.45 seconds at the Kuonisbaergli course, 0.10 seconds ahead of teammate Benjamin Raich. Felix Neureuther of Germany was third, 0.14 seconds back.

Ligety, who also crashed on Saturday, had tied for third in the first run in soft snow conditions.

Miller made an error at one of the first gates, then lost his footing a second time and failed to finish the first run. On Saturday, he missed a gate during the first run of the giant slalom.

"It's a little disappointing," said Miller's coach, John McBride. "It's not like he did anything drastically wrong, he just didn't execute."

Jimmy Cochran was the only American to finish. He came eighth, 1.27 seconds behind the leader.

McBride said Miller would be a contender at the World Cup races in Wengen later this week if the conditions are good. The warm weather is forecast to continue until at least the middle of the week.

Several top contenders missed out on a second run Sunday in a repeat of hazardous snow conditions that caused a third of the field to crash out of the giant slalom event the day before.

Marc Berthod and Daniel Albrecht of Switzerland, who came first and second in the giant slalom, both went out in the first run. Kalle Palander of Finland, who is sixth in the overall World Cup standings, also fell victim to the slushy conditions.
