"It was a successful test on snow. We did three runs. Nothing wrong, but it was so cool", she says in a video on Instagram where she skis down the slope in big turns.
It was at Killington's giant slalom competition on November 30 that the American alpine queen crashed and got a stick injury and extensive damage to her abdominal muscles. It later required an operation to clean the wound that did not heal as it should.
The American has won 99 World Cup competitions in her career – the most of all in history – and has two individual Olympic gold medals and seven World Championship gold medals on her merit list.
The winter's big highlight is the World Championship in Austrian Saalbach in February. It remains to be seen if the 29-year-old can fully recover and get into competition form by then.
