History: 1987-1998

Born in 1984, Vonn had her earliest experiences on skis falling down and picking herself up again in a US state not particularly known for being mountainous, Minnesota. But with a grandfather and a father who were competitive skiers, little Lindsey started carving the local hill aged just three. “I began racing at seven, and by nine I was doing international events,” she remembers. Her talent as a small child proved so big that the whole family considered relocating for the sake of better training opportunities. Eventually her parents, brothers and sister all moved to Vail.
