Andy Mahre comes from legendary ski blood. His dad and his twin brother are Olympic Medalists and were part of the fabric of 80’s Americana. Andy’s skiing is a totally different direction compared to where his dad/uncle did. While Andy did race for a bit, he left that world to become one of the more innovative skiers of his time, with his effortless switch landings, huge drops, and calm style that have inspired a generation of skiers. It’s another do not miss episode.
