(CNN) -- Lindsey Vonn is back -- and she means business. The 29-year-old has not competed since suffering a knee injury in February and looked doubtful to ski again this year after tearing a knee ligament last month. Vonn was airlifted to a hospital in February after landing heavily on the opening day of the Alpine Ski World Championships in Austria. She underwent surgery for knee reconstruction. But following training runs on Wednesday and Thursday at Canada's Lake Louise course, she is aiming to get back in the groove this weekend ahead of February's Winter Olympics. "You know if your body is ready or not and I know that mine is ready," she told reporters.
