Downhill - The Bill Johnson Story
The full-length documentary on skiing's greatest rebel and cult‐hero, Bill Johnson,
is arguably the definitive Greek Tragedy of mountain sports. Johnson's story starts
with his Ali-like claim that “everyone else was racing for second.” The "Nose Picker"
as Austrian downhill ski legend, Franz Klammer called him, made good on his bet when he struck Downhill Gold in Sarajevo at the 1984 Winter Olympics. Add two more World Cup victories shortly after and Johnson was alpine skiing’s greatest downhiller, sitting on top of the world . . "And then it was gone," said Olympic Gold Medalist Phil Mahre of Johnson’s triumphant rise and subsequent fall from grace. The documentary depicts this journey and tells a personal tale of a fallen hero, seeking to win back his family, and his life.
