Early life
Schneider was born in Elm, the daughter of a shoemaker. Her mother died of cancer when Schneider was a teenager: as a result she put her ski career on hold and dropped out of school to look after the family home.[1]
Racing career
Schneider made her World Cup debut at the age of 20.[1] Schneider won the overall alpine skiing World Cup three times and eleven discipline World Cups in Slalom and Giant Slalom, along with 55 World Cup races (number four all-time among women to Moser-Pröll, Vonn and Shiffrin). She also won five medals at the Winter Olympics including 3 golds (Slalom and Giant Slalom at Calgary in 1988 and Slalom at Lillehammer in 1994), and six medals at the World Championships including 3 more golds (Giant Slalom at Crans-Montana in 1987 and Vail in 1989; Slalom at Saalbach in 1991).[2]
During the 1988–89 season she won 14 World Cup races, a record for single season wins that stood until Shiffrin beat that record in the 2018–19 season.
In April 1995, after eleven successful seasons, she announced her retirement. Today she runs a ski and snowboard school in her home village of Elm as well as a sport equipment shop in Glarus.
Vreni Schneider is praised in the Half Man Half Biscuit song 'Uffington Wassail' thus: "Vreni Schneider – you’re my downhill lady! Vreni Schneider – you’re the queen of the slopes!" The song is on the album Trouble Over Bridgwater from the year 2000.

Verena «Vreni» Schneider (* 26. November 1964 in Elm) ist eine ehemalige Schweizer Skirennfahrerin und Schlagersängerin. Sie gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Skirennfahrerinnen der Geschichte und dominierte das Renngeschehen in den späten 1980er und frühen 1990er Jahren. Die Riesenslalom- und Slalom-Spezialistin war dreimal Gesamtsiegerin des alpinen Skiweltcups und elfmal Siegerin einer Weltcup-Disziplinenwertung. Sie gewann 55 Weltcuprennen (womit sie an vierter Stelle hinter Lindsey Vonn, Annemarie Moser-Pröll und Mikaela Shiffrin steht), fünf Medaillen bei Olympischen Spielen (davon drei goldene) und sechs Medaillen bei Weltmeisterschaften (ebenfalls drei goldene). Während ihrer elfjährigen Weltcupkarriere konnte Schneider in allen fünf Disziplinen mindestens einen Podestplatz erzielen. In der Saison 1988/89 gewann sie 14 Weltcuprennen; dieser Rekord wurde in der Saison 2018/19 von Mikaela Shiffrin überboten. Sie hält die Bestmarken von 20 Weltcup-Rennsiegen und fünf Disziplinenwertungen im Riesenslalom, sowie von sechs Disziplinenwertungen im Slalom – wie Shiffrin –, ihr Rekord von 34 Rennsiegen im Slalom wurde 2013 durch Marlies Schild überboten.- [en] Vreni Schneider
