Vonn, 40, is one of the sport’s most decorated athletes from her successful career.
She enjoyed a 19-year career but was forced into retirement in February 2019 due to injury.
Earlier this year, she shared multiple photos from her career of the injuries that she suffered.
However, the American could be set for a spectacular return to the slopes, according to reports.
Swiss outlet Blick, has claimed that Vonn is keen to take part in the World Cup in Beaver Creek, Colorado, in December.
Vonn received an artificial knee joint back in April and is sure that she could return to competitive skiing.
It is believed that if her return to the World Cup races goes well, then she could return full-time.
Former German skier Felix Neureuther has claimed that Vonn is capable of making a comeback.

He told the newspaper: “When I first heard the rumour of Lindsey’s comeback three days ago, I couldn’t imagine that you could ski really fast with an artificial knee joint.
“But looking at it from a distance, I say: If anyone can do the seemingly impossible, it is the one and only Lindsey Vonn.”

Meanwhile, Austrian coach Sepp Brunner believes that Vonn is being “very ambitious”.
He added: “I was able to watch Lindsey Vonn train gliding curves in a very ambitious manner on the Rettenbach glacier.”
Vonn made her Olympic debut back in 2002 at the games in Salt Lake City.
She won her Olympic gold medal in the Downhill event eight years later in Vancouver, Canada.
This success came the year after she won the World Championships in the Downhill and Super-G events.
Between March 2013 and May 2015, she was in a relationship with golf star Tiger Woods.
She has since revealed that she found it “really hard” being with the golfing legend due to all the scrutiny they were under as a celebrity couple who were both at the peaks of their respective sports.
Lindsey Vonn’s relationship with Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn dated each other for almost three years.
The pair confirmed their relationship in 2013 following months of speculation.
They dated until 2015, when their relationship broke up, which was reported to be due to their busy schedules.
However, Vonn later admitted that it was difficult with the spotlight constantly on the golf star.
In 2022, she insisted that they were still friends and that she was happy that he recovered from his car crash in February 2021.
