THe Last Best ski - Andy NewEll / Coach / Nordic Team solutions

I am here in Bozeman grabbing a coffee with 4-time Nordic Ski Olympian Andy Newell.

I wanted to get some insights into Andy’s background and what he sees developing in this ski community as I write and illustrate the next Discover Montana Treasures book Skiing Bozeman.
