We’re Totally Mesmerized by This Speedy Footage of Lindsey Vonn Making Her Way Down a Mountain in Aspen
Lindsey Vonn is hitting the slopes and showing off her super impressive skills. Her latest TikTok certainly has us mesmerized and eager to get our skis on this snowy season.
The retired alpine skier, who was the first woman ever to ski the legendary Streif in Kitzbühel, Austria, and the first person to complete the course at night, shared a super speedy video with her TikTok fans. The 39-year-old was filmed from behind as she neatly and effortlessly made her way down a pristine white mountain. Shout-out to her cameraperson, who kept up with her and also captured all the best angles.
The view was also particularly special with tons of tall mountains, blue skies and the city fully visible.
“Doing what I love most… #skiing #fastandfurious #winter,” she captioned the post, which was set to the sound of Connor Price and Haviah Mighty’s “Trendsetter.”
Vonn, who is a three-time Olympic medalist and 82-time World Cup winner, donned a puffy white snow suit and full head and eye gear, as well as ski poles as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other, making perfect parallel twists down the mountain.
“I was nine years old when I first decided I wanted to be an Olympian, after meeting my idol Picabo Street. We made a 10-year plan on how to make the Olympics. One thing he made sure I understood was that ski racing didn’t make any money,” the athlete recalled about the best advice she received from her father. “If I wanted to have a successful career, I needed to be more than an athlete. I had to work harder than anyone else, and be smart about everything I did, because nothing would come easy, and I was not going to get a big contract.”
