Over the span of a decade, Johnny Spillane led the U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team to its greatest heights with a World Championship title and three Olympic medals. Today, he reflects on his career from his boyhood home in Steamboat Springs with Ticket to Fly host Peter Graves.
The explosiveness of ski jumping, with athletes launching off a towering scaffold and soaring like a bird through the air. The aerobic energy of cross country skiing, with skiers powering up steep hills and accelerating on thin edge down sweeping turns in a head-to-head battle to the finish line. This is Ticket to Fly, the international ski jumping and nordic combined podcast. Each episode will take you inside the international world of ski jumping and nordic combined, bringing you into the start house and up close with the stars of the sport, hosted by noted nordic commentator Peter Graves.
