Apart from the thrill and adrenaline, sliding down the snow-covered slopes can also bring a sense of danger with it. Every year, around sixty thousand injuries happen while snowboarders and alpine skiers make powder lines on the chilly mountains. And even an Olympic skier cannot survive the mighty slopes without getting hurt.

Lindsey Vonn, a gold medal-winning Olympic alpine skier, has gone through 10 knee surgeries after suffering a gnarly injury while skiing. And after her recent knee surgery, the athlete has kept her fans updated on her recovery. Recently, the athlete also posted a few new photos enjoying a vacation in the waters.
