    It's June, 2010, high in the Savoie region of the French Alps. The town of Val d'Isere, so busy in winter, is locked up tight. The only business that appears to be open is a convenience store serving the handful of people residing in town at this time of year. But in the windows of all the closed cafés, boulangeries and ski shops is a poster of a ski racer, a local hero: Ingrid Jacquemod. Ingrid raced on Whistler Mountain during the 2010 Olympics.
