WATCH: Lindsey Vonn enjoys 'Beaver Creek Burger' before heading to Switzerland for her World Cup return in St. Moritz

American alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn was spotted enjoying a burger in her recent post. This comes just a week before her scheduled FIS World Cup return in St Moritz, Switzerland in an event which will be held between Dec 21-22.

Before this World Cup return, the 40-year-old also recently participated at the Beaver Creek in Colorado during the STIFEL Birds of Prey event. Even though she was not an official competitor, she registered an impressive run time in the downhill event (1:34.1) as the forerunner.

Besides the race, the burgers of Beaver Creek also seemingly tempted the 2010 Olympic gold medalist to go to the village. Vonn took to her Instagram handle to share a video of her savoring the "Beaver Creek burger". In the post, Vonn can be seen wearing a US ski team uniform and her sponsored Red Bull helmet.

"Successful weekend deserves a burger" Vonn was heard saying in the video

She wrote in her caption:

"Had to get a famous Beaver Creek Burger before heading off to Europe after a successful weekend! 💪🏻 #americanburger Here I come Switzerland!!"

Here is the video:

The World Cup event in St Moritz will consist of two Super-G events which will be available for the fans to watch on Peacock Ski and Snowboard live.

Lindsey Vonn recently opened up about her aims and aspirations for the upcoming skiing chapter of her career.

In a recent interview with Olympics.com, Vonn stated that she has certain goals and targets she has set for herself after her comeback to the slopes which she aims to fulfill gradually. The Minnesota native also mentioned that she wants to get back to the same form and momentum that she left before she retired from the sport in 2019.

She said:

"I definitely have goals and expectations and I'm trying to be as patient as possible with myself on this journey and take it step by step and not skip any steps. I know my way back to a competitive level might take a race or two, but I certainly intend on on getting back to where I was before."

During this conversation, Lindsey Vonn also shed light on the initial months after her knee surgery in April and added that this helped her grow stronger and fitter.
