One of the big questions that could be answered next weekend is: How good is Lindsey Vonn? The 40-year-old was confident: "I was doing well on the first day. I think I'm ready for my comeback to racing. Everything is as it used to be, I feel comfortable at the start and with the speed, everything felt great."
