Andy Mill

Andy Mill

Andy Ray Mill (born November 2, 1953 in Aspen, Colorado) is a two-time Olympic downhill skier from the United States.

In 1974, Mill was on the World Championship Downhill Team competing in St. Moritz, Switzerland. For seven years thereafter he was the number one American downhill skier.

Mill was on the 1976 Olympic team in Innsbruck, Austria, where he placed sixth in the downhill won by Franz Klammer. Mill was also that year's U.S. Downhill Champion. In 1978, he competed at the World Championships in Garmisch, Germany, and was on the 1980 Olympic Downhill Team in Lake Placid.

In 1988, he was presented with the U.S. Olympic Spirit Award in recognition for overcoming adversity in the 1976 Olympic Games.

Since his retirement from skiing in 1981, Mill has worked with ESPN, NBC, ABC and CBS. He has a syndicated show in major ski areas in the U.S. entitled "Ski with Andy Mill", which he hosts, writes and produces.

Mill has served on the Boards of the Aspen Educational Foundation, the US Olympic Educational Ski Foundation for the US Ski Team, Aspen Winterclub Foundation and National Atlantic Salmon Fishing Federation.

He was divorced from his first wife, Robin, a former Miss California. ["Evert stirs love match at Wimbledon" "Chicago Sun Times", 26 June 1987, p. 109] On July 30, 1988 in Boca Raton, Florida, Andy Mill married tennis star Chris Evert, ["Evert marries former Olympic skier in Florida" "The Daily News of Los Angeles", 31 July 1988, p S9] whom he had met 19 months earlier at a New Year's Eve party at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen. After 18 years of marriage and three sons, they were divorced in December 2006 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, citing irreconcilable differences. Mill received $7 million in cash & securities from Evert, the $4 million house in Aspen, and several vehicles. After their divorce, Mill wished Evert and Greg Norman 'happiness'.

After his skiing career concluded, Andy Mill found another passion - tarpon fishing. A lifelong fisherman, he brought a similar level of dedication and perfection to fishing. Although he admittedly struggled for quite a few years, he eventually mastered the art of tarpon fishing and went on to become only the second angler to win 5 Gold Cup Tarpon tournaments and be a triple crown winner in tarpon fishing (Gold Cup, Hawley, and Golden Fly). Mill has also hosted an outdoor show on OLN as well as fished for a number of fish including marlin, sailfish, bonefish, and permit among others.
