TPM Episode 356: AJ Kitt, 4X Olympian, US Ski Team Legend

AJ Kitt is a US Ski Team Legend and was the face of US Downhill at a time when the US Skiing's image desperately needed a re-fresh from the Bill Johnson era. AJ's a 4X Olympian, which is incredible, but also the most screwed-over athlete ever by FIS, which is unfortunate. On the podcast, we talk about going fast, understanding sponsorship early, Bill Johnson, the World Cup at 18, the Olympics, and so much more. US Ski and Snowboard Hall of Famer Chad Fleischer asks the Inappropriate Questions.
