Vail, CO – Lindsey Vonn is back on snow training for the World Cup after being sidelined last week and hospitalized for intestinal pain.

Vonn returned to gate training on Sunday with a giant slalom session on Vail’s Golden Peak. After being slowed by illness for over a week, Vonn made the decision to begin gate training after a brief freeskiing session on Saturday as she has been regaining strength. Her training status is day-to-day and no decision has yet been made on a possible start during the Nov. 24-25 Nature Valley Aspen Winternational.

“This was her first time in gates since Soelden and she hasn’t lost any of her skills. Her skiing was right there,” said Roland Pfeifer, Technical Head Coach for the U.S. Ski Team. “Obviously she has a lack of energy but now it’s a matter of how fast she’s able to recharge her battery.

“We are day by day right now and will not make a decision yet on whether or not she can start Aspen. She is in a very good mood and she is so happy to be back,” Pfeifer added.
