Pingguoyuan, China….This evening local Olympian Keely Cashman flew down the Olympic Downhill course and was the highest placing US Skier. She placed 17th one place ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin.   Congratulations Keely!! She was 27th in her first race and jumped 10 placings in her second to 17th!   Keely hails from the small Central Sierra hamlet of Strawberry. Keely’s early racing years were spent at Bear Valley, Dodge Ridge, China Peak & Badger Pass before moving to the Squaw Valley Race Team (Now Palisades Tahoe).

Her father John Cashman was the head coach for the Bear Valley Race Team before moving to coach at Squaw Valley (Now Palisades Tahoe).   Photo below is Keely literally flying down the Super G course.  Photo from US Ski & Snowboard Team
