Family to join South Lake Tahoe native Maddie Bowman for Olympics

When the Winter Olympics commence in PyeongChang, South Korea, Carson Valley will have its own tie to the Games. Maddie Bowman, the inaugural gold medalist in the women’s free skiing halfpipe during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia, has qualified for her second Olympic Games. She joins a handful of athletes with local ties including David Wise (halfpipe skiing, Reno) and South Lake Tahoe’s Jamie Anderson (slopestyle snowboarding).
