This is the second year the World Pro Ski Tour will be at Waterville. The racers will compete for prize money and points towards the year- end overall Pro title. This is ski racing at its best – duel format head-to-head, not against the clock, with horse gates at the start, identical race courses, and two pro jumps that make the event exciting and fast paced. US Olympian Nolan Kasper of Warren, VT, is returning to defend his 2018 Tour title as former mem- ber of the US Ski Team on the 2018 USA Olympic Ski Team. Other top Pro Racers coming to Waterville will be Nolan Kasper, Michael Ankeny, Phil Brown, Kei Kullberg, Alex Tarberry and Rubie Brennan. Tucker Marshall of Redneck Rac- ing Team and 3rd year World Pro Lisa Mutz-Nelson Ski Tour racer says, “The World Pro Best at Beaver Creek: (from left) Alex Lever (3rd), Garrett Driller (1st), Phil Brown (2nd) and Michael Ankeny (4th).

Monnes Anderson Senate Committee on Rules REVENUE: No revenue impact FISCAL: No fiscal impact Action: Be Adopted Vote: 3 - 0 - 2 Yeas: Ferrioli, Starr, Rosenbaum Nays: 0 Exc.: Beyer, Burdick Prepared By: Erin Seiler, Administrator Meeting Dates: 3/3 WHAT THE MEASURE DOES: Honors William “Bill” Johnson for being first American male to win gold medal at Olympic Games in Alpine event. ISSUES DISCUSSED: Life of Bill Johnson Skiing accomplishments Attitude and personality towards skiing Crash and current state of health EFFECT OF COMMITTEE AMENDMENT: No amendment. BACKGROUND: William Dean "Bill" Johnson is a former World Cup alpine ski racer raised in Brightwood, Oregon. He was the first American male to win an Olympic gold medal in alpine skiing, winning the downhill at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. He was the first racer (of either gender) from outside the Alps to win an Olympic downhill. After his historic win at the Olympics, Bill Johnson went on to take two more World Cup downhill victories in Aspen and Whistler that season. Mr. Johnson mounted an improbable comeback bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, unfortunately the comeback ended abruptly on March 22, 2001, when Johnson crashed during a training run prior to the downhill race of the 2001 U.S. Alpine Championships, held at The Big Mountain near Whitefish, Montana. He sustained serious injury to the left side of his brain. Since 2010, he has lived in Gresham, Oregon under continuous care in a long-term facility.
