No offense to Lake Louise, but it seems like Vonn could’ve called out, maybe Whistler? Maybe a few other great ski hills in North America? Yeah, in this NYT interview she also gives shout-outs to Heavenly and to Mt. Hood…but the latter, only in the summer (sorry, Oregon, you lose in Vonn’s book). Strangely she misses the opportunity to stroke other U.S. hills. Or maybe it’s not so strange; when asked where she’d like to try skiing she mentions heli-skiing in Alaska and indoor skiing in Dubai. The fact that the great Lindsey Vonn hasn’t been dropped on top of a mountain by a heli lends a little insight into the limits of what pro racers do and don’t get to see.
