The diminutive Gold Coaster won two Olympic distance races in one extraordinary weekend in the US to put herself halfway to a $US200,000 ($A266,100) bonus payment.
Snowsill's wins in Minneapolis and New York in the space of just 24 hours - only made possible by a private Lear jet flight - came just eight days after her victory in a World Cup round in Edmonton, Canada.
It was her sixth win in as many races in 2006, including her memorable Commonwealth Games triumph in Melbourne, and she is the standout favourite to win her second world title in Lausanne, Switzerland.
But the remaining two events of the four-race Life Time fitness series in the US are held a week either side of the world titles.
Snowsill must win in Chicago (August 27) and Los Angeles (September 10) to collect the bonus.
