The 41-year-old Olympic medalist recently shared on her Instagram Story a photo that showed her “first big travel,” giving fans a small but emotional look at how she is slowly returning to normal life.
Her recovery journey has been long and painful since Feb. 8, 2026, when she crashed just 13 seconds into her women’s downhill run at the Winter Olympics in Italy. The impact caused a complex tibia fracture in her left leg, forcing medical teams to airlift her from the mountain to a hospital.

Vonn also revealed that at one point during treatment, she was in extreme pain that left a strong emotional memory of the experience.
“It just wouldn’t dissipate. It wouldn’t let up. It’s seared into my brain.”
Even while recovering, Vonn has remained active in other parts of her life. She is currently involved in advocacy work and public campaigns, including Invivyd’s “Antibodies for Any Body” campaign.
While she is still far from returning to competitive skiing, Vonn has said she is beginning to see progress in her recovery timeline and believes she is moving closer to a more normal life.
