Phil Mahre

Of the Mahre brothers' influence on skiing, Christin Cooper wrote in Skiing, "The Mahres were both so uncommonly talented and so equally self-assured about their potential that they had little to do but reach it," and noted, "They were amazing on skis, and with their results destroyed the myth of European supremacy in World Cup racing."

Although Mahre no longer competes in skiing, he coaches young racers in the U.S. ski program. Mahre told Beech, "I still have a passion and love for the sport, so I stay in it. Most kids who are 13 or 14 are clueless as to who I am, which is kind of nice. I have a lot of fun with them."
