The inside story on outside recreation

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Posted by Craig Hill @ 08:25:16 am

Just got word from the U.S. Ski Team that Phil Mahre's bid to qualify for U.S. Alpine Nationals this year has come up just short. Mahre of Yakima is 50-years-old and won a gold in the 1984 Olympic slalom. He started his comeback last season and impressed a lot of people despite coming up short of his goal. He turned down a special invitation to ski at nationals because he wanted to qualify on his own.
