On this big bumper edition of the podcast we hit all the topics and come back with one of America's hottest new athletes, Alpine skier Andrew Weibrecht.  At just 23 years old, Weibrecht made the Olympic team in daring fashion only to surprise the biggest names in the sport of skiing by producing his best ever international result in the men's Super G to take home a bronze medal.  We talk with Andrew on the sport of skiing, his development and his training, as well as some less known facts about the sport.
