BTS 18 – Winter Sports 5: From the Trailer Park to the World Cup w/ Naomi Kiekintveld

We have all heard the stories of Anchorage kids who have grown up skiing in the city and ended up racing at the highest levels of the sport, but what about those that chose a different route – coaching? On this episode we are talking to Naomi Kiekintveld who took an unlikely route into skiing that led from a trailer park to the World Cup.
