Kyle Rasmussen Olympian Kyle Rasmussen twenty years ago, Olympic fans were following the career of a powerful alpine skier from Angels Camp, Calif., who grew up skiing at Bear Valley. Kyle Rasmussen was competing in the era of Tommy Moe and AJ Kitt – a comeback time for US Skiing after an all-time low at the 1988 Calgary Games. Rasmussen went on to be a three-time Olympian and we caught up with him from his home to find out how much has changed for alpine sports since he competed.
Beth met Kyle back in 94 when he was competeing in Norway.
