Timeline

1957

Phillip Ferdinand Mahre (born May 10, 1957) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer, widely regarded as one of the greatest American skiers of all time.

1964

Phil, Steve, and their seven siblings (four older, three younger) grew up at a ski area; in 1964, their father Dave "Spike" Mahre became the mountain manager for the White Pass ski area, 50 mi west of Yakima on US-12, where they moved into a home near the base of the lifts.

By the age of 12, the Mahre twins' future was so promising that ski manufacturers were sending them free skis; the next year, Rossignol tried to sign them to a career-long contract, which their father declined.

Eventually they would use skis made by an American company K2 throughout their career.

The Mahre twins worked extensively with the company throughout their careers, developing custom race skis ideally suited to their needs.

Mahre graduated from Naches High School and also played football as a blocking back and linebacker for the Rangers.

1973

Mahre earned a spot on the U.S. Ski Team in early 1973 at age 15.

1975

He was selected to the "A" team following the 1975 season and made his World Cup debut in December 1975 at Val d'Isère, France.

1976

Mahre competed on the World Cup circuit from 1976 to 1984.

Two months later he competed at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, taking fifth in the giant slalom at age 18.

He made his first podium in March with a second in a giant slalom at Copper Mountain, Colorado, and finished the 1976 World Cup season in 14th place in the overall standings.

He won his first World Cup race the next season, a giant slalom at Val d'Isère in December 1976, and followed it up with a slalom win in March at Sun Valley, defeating the man who became his primary rival, the legendary Swede Ingemar Stenmark, with his twin brother Steve taking third.

He narrowly edged out Ingemar Stenmark, who had previously won three consecutive overall titles from 1976–78, by 6 points to win his first World Cup in 1981.

Mahre won primarily due to his results in the downhill and combined events, as Stenmark was uncomfortable in the downhill event.

1977

Mahre finished ninth in the overall standings for 1977.

1978

Starting with the 1978 season, Mahre finished in the top three in the World Cup overall standings for six consecutive seasons, winning the title in the final three (1981, 1982, and 1983).

His total of 27 World Cup race wins is fourth among Americans, only behind Mikaela Shiffrin, Lindsey Vonn, and Bode Miller.

Mahre was born in Yakima, Washington alongside his fraternal twin brother Steve (who is four minutes younger).

In 1978 he placed second in the overall standings, followed by third in 1979, despite breaking his lower left tibia in early March at the pre-Olympic giant slalom at Whiteface near Lake Placid.

1980

At the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, he took the silver in the slalom behind Stenmark, along with a combined title (not an Olympic event in 1980, but official as a concurrent World Championship title).

He again finished third in the overall World Cup standings for 1980, and won the first of four consecutive discipline titles in the combined.

Mahre's career reached its zenith over the next three seasons.

1982

In 1982, Mahre took the event titles in the giant slalom, slalom, and combined races as well as the overall title.

He had eight wins and 20 podium finishes, and his 309 points were well ahead of Stenmark's 211.

1983

In 1983, Mahre again beat Stenmark by a large margin for the overall title along with a second straight GS title.

1984

At the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Mahre again medaled in the slalom, taking the gold while Steve won the silver for a Mahre twin 1–2 sweep.

Steve had led the first of two runs, building a half-second lead over Swede Jonas Nilsson with Phil in third place another two-tenths back.

Phil skied a second run to grab the lead, then Nilsson skied next and faltered, dropping out of the medals.

Steve skied down last, needing only a solid run to take the gold, but a series of mistakes dropped him into second place, and Phil became the Olympic champion.

Meanwhile, unknown to the racers, Phil's wife Holly had given birth to their second child, a son, in Arizona an hour before the race started.

Phil did not find out about it until a TV interview after the race.

The Mahres won two of the five alpine skiing medals taken by Americans, all from the Northwest.

Portland's Bill Johnson (downhill) and Seattle's Debbie Armstrong also won gold, and Christin Cooper of Sun Valley took the silver for an American 1–2 finish in the women's giant slalom.

The Mahre twins raced a limited World Cup schedule during the 1984 season, and retired from the circuit in early March at age 26.

1985

In 1985, Phil and his brother released their book No Hill Too Fast, which chronicles their childhood and World Cup careers and includes a series of instructional sections titled "How to Ski the Mahre Way".

That same year the twins established the Mahre Training Center in Keystone, Colorado, and continue to run it to this day in Deer Valley, Utah.

1988

In 1988 Phil jumped to the World Pro Ski Tour, winning the slalom title in 1989.

Both he and his brother Steve raced on the World Pro Ski Tour under the Coors Light banner.

The twins attended the Bob Bondurant School of Driving in the fall of 1988 and began competing in auto racing.

1989

Phil ended his career with 27 World Cup race victories, at the time second only to Stenmark's 79 wins among men's racers (who ended his career in 1989 with 86 wins), while Steve finished with 9 wins.
