Balloons welcome Lindsey Vonn into Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame

Lindsey Vonn did many things on skis that no American woman had done before her, so it was appropriate that she was welcomed into the Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame in a manner unlike anyone else.

Lindsey Vonn celebrates her induction into the Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame Saturday night in Vail with young athletes from Ski & Snowboard Club Vail who carried baloons reprenting her accoomplishments. Vonn retired in 2019 and is the most successful U.S. woman in ski racing's "speed events," downhill and super-G. She is a four-time World Cup overall champion. (John Meyer, The Denver Post)
