Ski Team, managing 35 athletes and 5 coaches. He also spent one season with
the US Ski Team as Assistant Mens World Cup Technical Coach, covering the
World Cup circuit and the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympics.
Dave Auer, Fischer U.S. president said, “Fischer has long recognized the
importance of supporting racing and developing top athletes and Mike Day
knows what needs to be done to achieve Fischers goals. He brings an
extensive racing and coaching background to Fischers alpine U.S. race
program. We are excited to have Mike join our team, and feel his vast race
experience will solidify Fischers racing commitment and bring us to an even
higher level for the future.”
