Since establishing the medical device company Pacific West Vascular Solutions in 2010, Jennifer Walling has increased sales numbers and achieved the company's quota every year. An outdoors enthusiast who enjoys a variety of athletic pursuits, Jennifer Walling regularly visits Aspen, Colorado, to ski.Women's alpine skiing debuted at the Winter Olympics in 1936 and, since then, no woman has been more successful than Janica Kostelic of Croatia. Through three Olympic Games, Kostelic has won four gold and two silver medals, which puts her just ahead of Switzerland's Vreni Schneider, who has won five medals in two Olympic Games. Kostelic first competed in the 1998 Nagano Winter Games at just 16 years old, but was held off the podium. She won the World Cup overall title in 2001 with 1,256 points and soon after became the first athlete to be featured on a Croatian postage stamp. Her success from 2001 carried over to the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games, where she won gold in the combined event, slalom, and giant slalom. She also won a silver medal in the super-G. Kostelic defended her combined event crown at the 2006 Turin Winter Games and also won another silver medal in super-G. She could have added another medal to her collection at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, but was forced to retire following multiple knee and thyroid operations.

Owner and president of Pacific West Vascular Solutions in San Francisco, California, Jennifer Walling is an avid traveler, enjoying both nearby skiing in Aspen and faraway travels to Europe. Having fallen in love with Italy, Jennifer Walling enjoys the calming beauty and tranquility of Lake Como, located in the north of the country. Here are four experiences that should not be missed on a journey to this glamorous destination: 1. Varenna: Boasting an incredibly well-preserved medieval city center and lined with pastel colored houses, this harbor town is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of local wine. It is also the home of Villa Monastero, previously a convent, which now allows visitors to wander it's extensive gardens.2. Sentiero del Viandante: Perfect for those who want to hike and enjoy the great outdoors, this nearly 30-mile trail offers breathtaking views along the eastern side of Lake Como. An ancient trail originally taking travelers from the Milan area all the way to Switzerland, it leads adventurers through small towns and villages, perfect for taking breaks in local inns. 3. The Basilica of Sant’Abbondio: With an astonishing history dating back to the 5th century, this church is easily the oldest in the area. What it lacks in decor, it makes up for in the many building styles that can be found within, as it was constructed over a period of centuries.
