I'm guessing this will be her 1st of many, many, many climbs to the top of a WC podium!

She's the real deal, with enough skill and potential to be the best women's techical event sker that the US has ever produced!

Here's the youtube clip of her winning runs in Sweden yesterday - she just crushed them both!

I should start skiing like that. What do I have to do, bend my knees or something?

Wow that is some amazing skiing. So fluid. Those are a couple of the nicest slalom runs I can remember.
