The Edwards skier, who injured her leg in a downhill crash on Jan. 26 in Cortina d’Ampezzo, gave an injury update in a video on Instagram on Sunday.
“I have been progressing well in the gym. I’m feeling better and better each day,” she said before adding that the March 9-10 World Cup weekend is still her expected return date.
