Where do we begin? When it comes to a classic, Scott Macartney is the real deal. He’s a real ski racer, a real skier. The self-contained Seattle-born U.S. Ski Team veteran started skiing not much later than he learned to walk, and the rest, as they say, is history. With a resume that includes World Cup podiums and an Olympic top-ten finish, Macartney is still going strong.
