Sun Valley’s Charley French turned 99 this past month and we figure that’s reason to replay a video interview Eye on Sun Valley’s Karen Bossick had with Charley a few years ago.
It would take a myriad of video interviews to do justice to Charley—he helped create the modern double-paned ski goggles, tested the first pair of aerodynamic handlebars that revolutionized the sport of cycling and claimed multiple age-group world title in triathlon the cross -country skiing. And he’s still going strong, showing up at local Nordic trails, his skis in his sports car, and attending sports car rallies across the world.
Enjoy! And Happy Birthday, Charley!
