In chronicling the U.S. Ski Team’s unlikely rise to dominance over the past ten years, powered by the likes of international superstars Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn, Nathaniel Vinton ’01 himself pulls off a nearly impossible feat. Vinton, an investigative journalist for the New York Daily News and former ski racing coach, manages to capture and convey the experience of hurtling down an icy mountain faster than highway speeds with remarkable skill and accuracy and a touch as deft as the athletes he writes about. The Fall Line is a compelling read for any sports fan and a must-read for any fan of sliding on snow. From Bowdoin Magazine, Winter 2015.
