when does vonn ski

For “when does Vonn ski,” most people right now mean Lindsey Vonn and her current comeback schedule in the run‑up to the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Below is a clear breakdown of when she is skiing this season and at Milano‑Cortina 2026, based on recent schedules and previews.

Quick Scoop

  • Lindsey Vonn is racing again on the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup circuit in the 2025–26 season, from October through March.
  • Her biggest target is the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina, where she is entered in three alpine events in mid‑February.
  • Exact race days can shift with weather and injuries, but the headline dates for her Olympic races are already set.

Vonn’s 2025–26 World Cup Season: When She Skis

The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup is the main circuit where Vonn is currently skiing. It runs October 2025 to March 2026 , with multiple weekends of racing.

Key structure of her season:

  • Season window:
    • Starts: late October 2025 (traditional opening in Sölden, Austria).
* Ends: World Cup Finals in March 2026, Lillehammer, Norway.
  • Disciplines Vonn focuses on:
    • Downhill (her specialty).
* Super‑G.

* Some combined events tied to downhill/super‑G.
  • Notable 2025–26 stop mentioned for Vonn:
    • St. Moritz, Switzerland – early season World Cup speed weekend, with downhill races Friday–Saturday and a super‑G on Sunday.
  • Example 2026 race weekend:
    • Zauchensee World Cup (Austria), January 2026 – Vonn races a downhill on Saturday and a super‑G on Sunday, shown live on NBCSN and Peacock.

So in practical terms, she skis most weekends from late October through March , with downhill and super‑G events sprinkled across Europe and North America, plus the Olympic break in February.

When Does Vonn Ski at the 2026 Olympics?

At Milano‑Cortina 2026 , Vonn is listed for three alpine events.

Core Olympic event dates

From multiple schedules, these are the key days where Vonn is expected on course (all 2026):

  • Women’s downhill:
    • Sunday, February 8 – main downhill race.
  • Women’s team combined:
    • Tuesday, February 10 – combined event featuring speed plus technical portion.
  • Women’s super‑G:
    • Thursday, February 12 – super‑G race.

The women’s events are held in Cortina d’Ampezzo (Tofane course) during the Olympic window, while the men race in Bormio.

Training runs

Downhill at the Olympics requires at least one completed training run before the race can go ahead.

  • Planned downhill training sessions around February 4, 6, and 7.
  • One earlier session was cancelled due to snowfall, so her team is juggling recovery and mandatory training.

Because of her recent ACL injury , there’s still some uncertainty: she has said she intends to race, but participation depends on how her knee responds in these training days.

TV and Streaming: When You Can Watch Her Ski

If “when does Vonn ski” really means “when can I watch her,” here’s the current picture:

  • World Cup (example: Zauchensee 2026):
    • Saturday downhill at 5:30 a.m. ET , Sunday super‑G at 6:00 a.m. ET , on NBCSN and Peacock.
  • Olympic downhill broadcast:
    • Women’s downhill on Sunday, February 8 , airing in the morning on NBC (for U.S. viewers, listed around 9:20 a.m. ET).
  • Olympic combined and super‑G:
    • Team combined (Feb 10) and super‑G (Feb 12) expected on USA Network and related platforms.

Local times in Europe are afternoon, so U.S. broadcasts tend to be early morning live with replays later in the day.

Context: Didn’t Vonn Retire?

You might remember headlines that Vonn “doesn’t ski anymore” after retirement, and that was accurate several years ago. In a 2020 interview she said her body couldn’t handle ski speed and she mostly stayed off the slopes.

But since then:

  • She has officially returned to the U.S. Ski Team and to competition, preparing for another Olympic run.
  • By late 2025 and early 2026 she is racing World Cup speed events again and targeting medals in Milan‑Cortina.

So if you saw older clips saying “I don’t ski anymore,” those reflect her mindset right after retirement, not her current 2025–26 comeback season.
