Photos: Whitefish Welcomes Home Olympian Maggie Voisin

Two days after the closing ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Maggie Voisin returned home to Whitefish and received a hero’s welcome. Riding through downtown atop a fire truck, the 15-year-old wunderkind of slopestyle skiing waved to flocks of cheering residents who lined the sidewalks.
