And at 30 years of age, she will soon become the most decorated female World Cup skier in the history of the sport. Lindsey Vonn is used to coming down mountains -fast. But she is about to summit a rather large mountain-and once she reaches the top, she will likely sit alone there for the foreseeable future.
