The races are scheduled to be held on coming Saturday and Sunday where Vonn will be seen gracing the slope for two super-g races. Before this World Cup event, the 40-year-old participated in four official races in Copper Mountain after coming back to skiing, two downhill and two super-g.

This World Cup event will be the Minnesota native's first World Cup race in six years. Her last World Cup competition came on January 20, 2019, in Italy at the Cortina d'Ampezzo where she participated in downhill and super-g races. She couldn't reach the top three in any of these races with a 9th-place best finish in her second downhill race.

Lindsey Vonn recently expressed her gratitude after serving as the forerunner at Beaver Creek on Saturday (Dec 14) during the FIS Birds of Prey. The event saw Austria's Cornelia Hutter win this downhill event after registering a run time of 1:32.28.

In an Instagram post after the event, Vonn thanked the Beaver Creek course and also expressed her feelings about competing in that location. She also made special mention to her fans, friends, and family members who came to watch her perform her non-competitive duties at the event. She wrote:

"THANK YOU Beaver Creek!!!! What an incredible feeling to cross the finish line in front of such an amazing crowd! Friends, family, volunteers and so many people I’ve known over the years who came to support and cheer for me and the whole @usskiteam… thank you."

Lindsey Vonn has some good memories of her skiing career at the Beaver Creek, Colorado. She also won a super-g bronze medal during the 2015 Alpine Ski Championships.
