Montana’s Heather “McFly” hopes to land in Sochi

Among the Montanans hoping to make it to the Sochi Olympics this winter is Bozeman native and reigning national freestyle mogul ski champion, Heather McPhie.

It would be McPhie's second Olympics - she placed 18th in Vancouver in 2010. This year's team will be picked in January.

"It's less than one minute of your life, and you've trained so hard for it."

McPhie is back in Bozeman for the holidays after competing in a World Cup event in Finland. The 29-year-old took time out from her training to speak with News Director Sally Mauk about her skiing career. It's a sport that's in her blood - beginning with her great grandfather.

[McPhie will be signing posters at Bozeman Audi December 20th from 3 to 6 pm and will kickoff a fundraiser for Eagle Mount and Big Sky Youth Empowerment, from 4:30 to 7 pm, December 21st at Big Sky resort.]

 

Retired in 2014 but still a presence at MTPR, Sally Mauk is a University of Kansas graduate and former wilderness ranger who has reported on everything from the Legislature to forest fires.
