Tommy Moe is an absolute legend. This longtime US Ski Teamer is the only Olympic Downhill gold medalist I've had on the podcast. But Tommy's life wasn't always destined for glory. Between getting kicked off a ski team, to being put on probation by the US Ski Team, the future wasn't always so promising. In part 1 of the podcast, we talk about ski racing, his issues, moving to Alaska, making the US Ski Team at a young age, the struggles of an athlete on the come up and the Albertville Olympic Games. It is a fun chat, and Tommy's US Ski Team teammate, Reggie Crist, asks the Inappropriate Questions.
