Ski racing fans will have a chance to celebrate the stellar season of Colorado’s most prominent star of the sport when Vail hosts a homecoming celebration Wednesday for Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn. In addition to Olympic gold and bronze medals, the Vail resident recently captured her third consecutive World Cup overall title and set U.S. records for race victories this season.
The homecoming festivities start at 3:30 p.m. in Vail Square, located in Lionshead. Commemorative pins and memorabilia will be given away. Guest speakers will introduce Vonn at about 4 p.m., followed by a special children’s news conference with Vonn.
Guests who ride one of several exclusive “Welcome Home Lindsey” cars on the Eagle Bahn Gondola throughout the day can register to win one of five 2010-11 Epic 7-Pack passes. Winners will be announced by Vonn at the conclusion of the homecoming celebration.
