White is a proven media property.

I think LV may have jumped the shark when she and TW got together. He’s had his 45 minutes of fame, and suffers from public burnout.

This I believe is going to be the subject of a Sharp Edge column. As they say, one oh-sugar moment ruins 1000 good moments.

Meh.

It’s not like there’s a skier franchise within those magazines; somehow (hard work at the PR angle?) she got lucky in getting so much media attention–even before hooking up with TW.

She hasn’t yet become the all-time winner on the women’s circuit? That’s a surprise.
