An Interview with Four Olympians at the 28th Annual Boston Globe Ski & Snowboard Expo, 2009

I headed to the Boston Globe Ski and Snowboard Expo with the intention of stopping in briefly at the Vermont skiing media reception, representing my station, NECN. As a skier, you can imagine this meteorologist’s excitement when I got the opportunity to meet and interview FOUR Olympians – Ross Powers (2002 Olympic gold medalist in the half-pipe and two time Olympian), Donna Weinbrecht (Olympic gold medalist in the mogul skiing event in 1992), Fuzz Feddersen (Olympic aerial skier extraordinaire who now showcases that talent as The Flying Ace All-Stars aerobatics extravaganza), and the one and only Ski Hall of Famer Tommy Moe (a double Olympic medal winner, downhill gold and Super G silver at Lillehammer, Norway, 1994)! What an amazing experience to meet these four friendly, warm, down-to-earth yet out-of-this-world talented athletes – I had to share it with you! You can meet them this weekend at the Expo – find out more Expo details by clicking here. The still images in the video are from Norwegian channel NRK.

I also took some time to catch up with representatives from a few of our New England ski resorts – including a stop at the Vermont Ski media reception. Here’s what the folks I spoke with wanted to be sure to share with you, their beloved skiers and my beloved viewers!
