“US Ski Team member Leanne Smith is rebounding from the torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee suffered in last January’s Cortina downhill and will get her first World Cup start since the injury in Saturday’s Aspen giant slalom.

“I’m feeling really good and was really lucky that even though it was a serious injury I had the resources to get back together,” she said.”
