Star of DVDs Chasing Silver & Andys Return
Andy Ray Mill (born November 2, 1953 in Aspen, Colorado) is a former alpine ski racer. He was two-time Olympian, competing primarily in the downhill event on the World Cup circuit for the U.S. Ski Team.
Since his retirement from ski racing in 1981, Mill has worked as a ski racing commentator with ESPN, NBC, ABC, and CBS. He has a syndicated show in major ski areas in the U.S. entitled Ski with Andy Mill, which he hosts, writes and produces.
Mill has served on the Boards of the Aspen Educational Foundation, the US Olympic Educational Ski Foundation for the U.S. Ski Team, Aspen Winterclub Foundation and National Atlantic Salmon Fishing Federation.
After his skiing career concluded, Andy Mill found another passion - tarpon fishing. A lifelong fisherman, he brought a similar level of dedication and perfection to fishing. Although he admittedly struggled for quite a few years, he eventually mastered the art of tarpon fishing and went on to become only the second angler to win 5 Gold Cup Tarpon tournaments and be a triple crown winner in tarpon fishing (Gold Cup, Hawley, and Golden Fly). Mill has also hosted an outdoor show on OLN as well as fished for a number of fish including marlin, sailfish, bonefish, and permit among others.
