Anna Veith sends vacation greetings from Greece. She wants to soak up some sun before the start of winter, she writes on Instagram.

Anna splashing around in the sea, Anna swinging with her son, Anna chilling on the beach - Austria's former ski queen seems to have really enjoyed her vacation. "A few days in Greece with my family to soak up the last bit of sun before winter takes over," she lets us know on Instagram. It really does seem like she's ready for the cold season.

Comeback in the ski business
The winter will probably not only be cold - it will almost certainly also be exciting and challenging for Veith. The Olympic champion and two-time world champion is de facto returning to the ski business. The 35-year-old is entering into a partnership with Austrian manufacturer Kästle. "In addition to developing new ski models specially designed for women, Anna and Kästle share a common vision: they want to inspire people to lead a healthier and more active lifestyle, with a particular focus on the next generation," the Vorarlberg-based company announced.

Detailed plans are to be presented on November 6 in Schladming, where the mother of two runs the "Guesthouse Arx" with her husband Manuel Veith. Before retiring in 2020, Veith was skiing on skis from Head. Kästle is one of the smaller manufacturers in the World Cup. Ester Ledecka and Ilka Stuhec, among others, ski with the traditional company from Hohenems.
