Bill Johnson Journey Skiing
FILE - In this Dec. 11, 2002, file photo, Bill Johnson displays his gold medal for the downhill from the 1984 Winter Olympics while eyeing the ski slopes in Breckenridge, Colo. 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/Peter M.
