he U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) will take a formal proposal to the executive board of the International Ski Federation (FIS) next week requesting permission for Lindsey Vonn, the most decorated skier in American history, to compete in a World Cup competition against men at Lake Louise in 2018.

Vonn, with more than 77 wins and 130 podiums in her career, has made no secret of her desire to compete against the men, suggesting last year she could "beat some boys and call it a day."

The idea has been informally discussed by FIS in the past, but those talks stalled with the federation seemingly unwilling to bend its rules that don't allow skiers of different genders to compete against one another.

"It will be a very difficult challenge to find a reasonable way of doing this," FIS boss Atle Skaardal said this summer. If the ladies are allowed to race with the men, then also the men need to be authorized to ski with the ladies. And I'm not sure this is a direction we want to go. It's a difficult topic."

I'm up for a ski off with her anytime...

Any catch her "leaked" photos?

Made it skiing related....

She might beat Steve Carrell, but not Bobby Riggs.

Blackcomb Aviation sure serves some interesting terrain.

She's actually raced some of Bode Miller's old speed event skis from what I heard, but I doubt she's as fast as the average 225lb male WC'er.

You sure Doug Lewis was over 200 lbs? At 5'8" I think that would be a larger person the Doug and he has an FIS Bronze metal.

She's got man hands. Plus like Humpty Dumpty says, she was ___ Tiger.
