Bill Johnson Journey Skiing
FILE- In this March 22, 2001, file photo, U.S. Olympic Gold downhill medalist Bill Johnson loses control during a training run in this sequence of images made from video on the downhill course at the U.S. Alpine Ski Championships at Big Mountain, Mont., near Whitefish. A series of strokes over the past few years have all but immobilized Johnson, the skier who once lived life on the edge. His brash confidence, movie-star charisma and rebellious attitude made him a fan favorite at the 1984 Olympics, when he became the first American to capture the downhill crown (AP Photo/Eric Einhorn, File) NO SALES
