Schlopy clocked a two-run combined time of 1 minute, 46.49 seconds to edge two French racers on the podium. Cyprien Richard finished second in 1:46.65 and Thomas Frey third at 1:46.95.
U.S. Ski Teamer Jake Zamansky, who’s coming off an injury-shortened 2007 season as is Schlopy, finished fourth at 1:47.03. France’s Steve Missillier rounded out the top five.
Tim Jitloff finished ninth for the U.S., and Will Brandenburg — who led the U.S. team with a ninth-place in Monday’s event — was 11th.
The women race the first of two GS races at Keystone on Wednesday.
