In a statement issued through Dey Street, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, the 34-year-old Vonn said she was 'digging deep' into her life.  

Last week she showed off her flawless figure in a series of bikinis for her third time in the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue

The pinup said that she was 'kind of done with the snow stuff' as she paraded her toned physique on the beach during a photo shoot in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with famed photographer Walter Chin behind the lens.

The blonde beauty donned a blue-and-white tie-dyed number which featured a triangle top and matching cheeky bottoms for one sea-side photo. 

Another shot showed her perched on a rock wearing a bright white one-piece with a supremely high cut. 

She rolled around in the sand wearing a peach bathing suit with one long sleeve attached to a strapless number.  Vonn relaxed on a hammock wearing a rainbow-hued top and vibrant red bottoms while soaking up the sun in luxury. 

This wasn't Linsdey's first run with the magazine though as she was first featured in the coveted issue nearly one decade ago. 

'My first shoot up in Whistler (Canada) in 2009 was a little too cold,' she admitted. 'I'm more looking forward to the beach. I'm kind of done with the snow stuff for now ... I'm just going to enjoy the warm weather.'

In a Glamour magazine profile, the four-time World Cup winner shed light on her decision to leave the skis behind.

In a Glamour magazine profile, the four-time World Cup winner shed light on her decision to leave the skis behind.

'I've always said: 'When I can't ski how I want to ski, that's when it's time to finish,'' the blonde shared with the magazine. 'I've never been afraid,' she said. 'Not even when the injuries and the crashes seemed to endlessly pile up, I never changed. I never was afraid,' she dished.

Lindsey explained that 'I want people to know I view my career as beyond successful. I never gave up.'

Although this unflappable attitude was 'how I was able to continue to win,' she confessed that it's 'also been my biggest downfall.' In her retirement post, she revealed 'I underwent surgery this past spring' and wrote: 'My body is screaming at me to STOP and it's time for me to listen.' 

The famed issue is on stands now and features covers with Tyra Banks, Alex Morgan and Camille Kostek.
