Had a poster of Phil on my wall as a kid. Right next to the Star Wars and Porsche 911 posters. He was Jonny Moseley to skiers in the late 70's 80's.

Had a SURPRISE run with him few weeks back not even knowing "who" this guy was that was absolutely RIPPPING the mountain apart. *no spring chicken that has Mysterious Physical abilities and Skill to this day. Mind was blown!

[@JarlBerg]

I have a couple Phil Mahre posters and a pair of training skis that were his in my collection...he really was one of the greatest and still skiing to this day!

This was such a great olympics.

[@markeaton2003]

Modest twin world champions, they were and are so great. They represent skiing, racing, and greatness.

[@yankeerose8870]

Amazing how long those skis were :D

[@Lehmann108]

205 cms with no deep side cuts. That why you see such extreme unweighting and only the last part of the turn being carved.
