  Paid parking at ski areas has been a point of contention since resorts started implementing it.
  As if skiing wasn't expensive enough already, paying for parking has unfortunately become an expected part of the ski experience in many places.

  However, since her return to competitive ski racing last year, following a partial knee replacement, it seems Vonn's wow factor has increased even more. The 2024/25 winter season was only the beginning of Vonn's legendary comeback.
