Lindsey Kildow (born October 18, 1985 in St. Paul, Minnesota) is an American alpine skier. While growing up ski racing in Vail, Colorado, her role model was Picabo Street. Her successes in skiing led to an Olympic Games debut in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
On February 13, 2006, while training for the downhill race at the 2006 Winter Olympics, Kildow crashed and was evacuated by helicopter to a nearby hospital. Despite a bruised hip, she did not bow out of the competition, instead competing and finishing 8th. Kildow and several other racers had complained that the course was too easy, and Olympics organizers had made several modifications to the course, including adding more jumps.
At the 2007 World Ski Championships she won two silver medal in Downhill and Super-G.
