1994

The 1994 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XVII Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in 1994 in Lillehammer, Norway.  The Lillehammer Olympics are still considered to this day by sport specialists and Olympic officials as one of the greatest Winter Games ever, and it ranks among the greatest sporting events in history.  You may recall that after repeated Olympic frustration since 1988, American speed skater Dan Jansen finally won a gold medal in 1994, setting a world record in the men's 1000 m (1:12.43) in his last Winter Olympic race and a fitting tribute to his sister.  Also, in a thrilling performance, American Tommy Moe won Olympic gold in the downhill; not finished, he went for more, winning a silver medal in the super-G on his birthday four days later. With this impressive feat, Moe cemented his place in history, becoming the first US alpine skier to win two medals in the same Olympics.  Heat Factory played a small part in the American’s success in Lillehammer, by providing warmers and accessories to the U.S. Ski Team that year. 

After the Olympics, Moe decided it was time to hang up his ski boots.  Now that he has the time, he plans to explore. An outdoorsman at heart, he says the mountains have always been a big part of his life.  Highly skilled at reading the rivers of Alaska, Moe co-owns Class V Whitewater, a rafting and kayaking guide service. And let's not ignore those prominent peaks in the backcountry around Girdwood where he also co-owns Chugach Powder Guides, a heli-skiing operation nestled in the Camelot of the big fat deep.  No doubt that Heat Factory product will fit prominently into his future as a guide and outdoorsman!
