Picabo Street's Nothing to Hide is an unforgettable story of an Olympic champion who overcame adversity to achieve her dreams.

Picabo Street was born in Triumph, Idaho, in 1971. She grew up in a small town where everyone knew everyone else. Her father was a logger, and her mother was a homemaker. Picabo was a tomboy who loved to play outside and explore the woods.

When Picabo was 10 years old, she started skiing. She quickly fell in love with the sport and began racing competitively. By the time she was 16, she was one of the top junior skiers in the United States.

In 1991, Picabo made her Olympic debut at the Winter Games in Albertville, France. She finished 10th in the downhill and 11th in the super-G. Two years later, she won her first World Cup race in Vail, Colorado.

In 1994, Picabo was poised to make a run for the gold medal at the Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway. However, just weeks before the Games, she crashed during a training run and suffered a serious knee injury.

Picabo was devastated by the injury, but she refused to give up. She underwent surgery and began a long and difficult rehabilitation process. With the help of her family, friends, and coaches, she slowly regained her strength and mobility.

In 1998, Picabo returned to the Olympics in Nagano, Japan. She was not the same skier she had been before her injury, but she was determined to compete. She finished 12th in the downhill and 10th in the super-G.

Picabo's Olympic career was cut short by another knee injury in 1999. However, she continued to ski competitively for several more years. She retired from racing in 2002.

Since retiring from skiing, Picabo has become a motivational speaker and author. She has also worked with several organizations that support injured athletes.

In her book, Nothing to Hide, Picabo shares her inspiring story of overcoming adversity. She writes about her childhood, her skiing career, her injuries, and her life after skiing.

Nothing to Hide is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced adversity. It is a story of hope, determination, and resilience.
