Skiing NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S and WOMEN’S Skiing NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S Highlights Colorado wins 17th skiing crown; Buff s ice wire-to-wire win in rugged slalom conditions: In a dominant wire-to-wire win, Colorado locked up its 17th NCAA skiing title at Stowe Mountain Resort in Stowe, Vt. It’s the sixth NCAA crown the Buff s have secured during head coach Richard Rokos’ 20-year tenure, and their fi rst since 2006. Excited to once again be out from under the runner-up status it has achieved each of the past three years, Rokos noted the diff erence between winning and second is often just a bit of luck. “We came here to win, and that’s the same goal that we have every time we come to the championships,” Rokos said. “The diff erence this year is that we were able to stay healthy and all our alpine skiers fi nished both races -- most of them cleanly. You have to get lucky, you know, no matter how well you’re prepared.” The Buff s tallied an impressive 831 points throughout these championships, 80.5 points better than runner-up Utah, and 188 points ahead of third-place Dartmouth. Colorado rocketed to a commanding 46-point lead on the fi rst day of races March 9, nearly doubled it to 84.5 on March 11, and -- though relinquishing a sliver of that margin -- coolly secured the title with solid fi nishes by its alpine squads in diffi cult conditions at the slalom races March 12. After tons of snow, then rain, then more snow during the week, it was destined to be a bumpy ride on Stowe’s Mainstreet track, and there was indeed carnage in both men’s and women’s races. Only a few athletes looked solid on this day. Two of them were Denver’s Sterling Grant and Lindsay Cone, who left the gate at opposite ends of the start order. Grant has won every single collegiate slalom she entered this winter, including a gold medal Feb. 5 at the Winter World University Games in Erzurum, Turkey, on Feb. 5. She kept the streak alive during the championship, winning the fi rst run and surviving the second to capture the women’s 2011 NCAA slalom title. “Sterling has shown she’s the best skier in the country all year,” said Denver alpine coach Andy LeRoy. “Today, with those conditions and having to start 30th in the second run, she didn’t just show it, she earned it.” For her part, Grant was at once humble and seemed to have never questioned the outcome. “I’ve just felt confi dent all season with my slalom,” Grant said. “Every win just built it up more. Today I knew it was going to be bumpy for everyone, so I just stayed focused and punched it. I did what I wanted to do, which was win the NCAA title.” Coach LeRoy was equally excited by Cone, who started bib 29 and fi nished 10th in the fi rst run, then vaulted to second by race’s end. “Lindsay had a chance to win the giant slalom on March 9 but crashed -- one of her only DNFs in the past couple years,” said LeRoy. “I’m really happy with the way she re- sponded today. Again, to ski from 29th to second in these conditions is, really, incredible.” Grant’s winning two-run time was 1:54.27, followed by Cone at 1:55.25, as St. Lawrence’s Ashley-Kate Durham picked up bronze in a time of 1:55.61. Vermont’s Kate Ryley and Utah’s Tii-Maria Romar were fourth and fi fth. In the men’s race, Vermont’s Jonathan Nordbotten and Tim Kelley sat fi rst and third after run one, sandwiching New Mexico’s Petter Brenna. As the second run unfolded, every other skier seemed to get bounced from the deteriorating course and tight, tricky combinations. Those who did fi nish seemed to be holding back -- Kelley wasn’t about to be one of them. “When I was standing in the start second run, it seemed like a lot of the other guys were just skiing to fi nish,” Kelly said. “I don’t really know how to [ski conservatively] -- it’s never worked for me -- so I just went for it and attacked because I didn’t want hold back at all.” Kelley pushed out of the gate and was on-point through the top sections of the course. Halfway down, a near crash after sitting back through a fl ush had the home crowd gasping, but Kelley recovered and crossed the line with the fastest combined time at 1:39.42. The stage was set for high drama, but Brenna and Nordbotten were unable to capitalize. Both blew out and hiked, making Kelley the last and fastest man standing. In the end, Colorado’s Gabriel Rivas and New Hampshire’s Zach Clayton benefi ted from two super-solid runs, rounding out the podium with combined times of 1:40.60 and 1:41.59, respectively. Dartmouth’s Trevor Leafe fi nished fourth, improving upon his strong 9th-place in the giant slalom March 9. Utah’s Torjus Krogdahl rounded out the top fi ve. Though CU’s alpiners didn’t garner as many podiums as its nordics, Rokos was understandably excited by their results at these championships. “The girls started 12, 14 and 25 and fi nished 10, 11 and 12. The guys fi nished second, 10th and 20th -- even with Andreas Haug hiking,” Rokos said. “Obviously cross country has been the strength of our team for years, and they put a lot of points together again here. But both in the giant slalom and slalom we were able to support our cross country with alpine, and that’s why we won.” Colorado is the second winningest team in NCAA skiing history behind Denver, but this was not just another title for the Buff s. Colorado skier Spencer Nelson -- who would have been a sophomore this year -- died in a hiking accident this past August. The team dedicated its 2011 season to Nelson’s honor at the outset, and coach Rokos put an exclamation point on that remembrance after winning the title. “Spencer’s dream was to win an NCAA championship, and he was a talented kid who was one of few young freshman skiers who qualifi ed for the event last year,” Rokos said. “We felt like we should do this for him. His father is here today, and he will be the one who gets the fi rst touch on the trophy.” Except for an uncharacteristically tough week for No. 1 Vermont, the top fi ve colleges at this year’s 2011 NCAA Skiing Championships fi nished in nearly the same order as Ski Racing Magazine’s fi nal round of regular-season Power Rankings. 2 SKIING—INDIVIDUAL RESULTS 2011 TEAM STANDINGS Men’s giant slalom: 1.

They turned out to be myriad and diverse, to say the least. Max Dunn was an assistant managing director in charge of all skiing and skating events. This included supervision of the building of the ice rink, the outdoor skating rink, laying out all of the courses, getting the judges, doing all that. That occupied Max pretty fully. He couldn't do much of anything else. Bob Ewen was the personnel manager. He had change of all the hiring, firing, paying and all the rest of all the personnel on the staff, which proved to be a number of hundreds -- I don't remember how many, but there were many -- and also, seeing that the facilities were appropriate and the rest of it, in Squaw Valley.

    01 074 The Ski Journal THE P EOP L E’S RACE Kissed by the Devil at the Mürren Inferno 01 • Burn the devil! In a tradition to bring good weather, non-hazardous course conditions and a lack of serious crashes, a devil statue is carried through Mürren on Friday night as a fiery sacrifice to the race gods. Mürren Inferno 075 Words Kelley McMillan Photos Bruno Petroni ut of the darkness, the devil emerges. Cast in the rosy glow of hundreds of torches, he floats through Mürren, Switzerland’s cobblestone streets, past 19th-century farmhouses and sleds propped up outside of pubs. Cowbells clang in Otime with the marching band that trails behind the horned effigy. Hundreds of children, villagers and amateur ski racers—some wearing devil masks, others carrying candles—join the procession, winding through the village in a fiery snake toward the devil’s final resting ground. He is going to burn. It is a clear, very cold night in late January on the eve of the 02 Inferno, one of the oldest and longest downhill races in the world. The next day, many of these revelers will descend nine miles from near the summit of the Schilthorn, the 9,744-foot peak that rises above Mürren, down 6,463 feet into Lauterb- runnen, a traditional Walser village-turned-BASE-jumping mecca at the bottom of the valley. The Walsers are a group of Germans who migrated into the Swiss Alps more than 700 years ago, who still speak a unique version of the language and hold to a very definitive, mountain-specific culture—a perfect finish for a historic race.

Deloria Date ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When people hear the topic of my dissertation, they often give me a knowing smile and ask if I am a skier. I say "I was a skier in my life before graduate school, when I had more time and a paycheck." This project has allowed me to explore Colorado's ski areas from the inside out, through their history, design, and marketing as well as their lifts, lodges, and trails. In the process I have met dozens of interesting people and incurred a number of debts. This project received financial support from the American Historical Association's Albert J. Beveridge Research Grant, the University of Colorado History Department's Douglas A. Bean Memorial Faculty Research Stipend and Pile Fellowship, the Roaring Fork Research Scholarship funded by Ruth Whyte, and from Dr. Giles D. Toll.

As a result of this exposure to winter sports, there are a growing number of people eager to try out the sports for themselves. And those who are really hooked even move to countries where they can spend their time practising and enhancing their skills. A prime example of this is the case of the athlete from Guam who competed at the Sarajevo Olympic Winter Games. As everyone knows, Guam is a small island located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where there is no snow.

Ginzberg Professor of History and Women’s Studies Stephen Piazza Professor of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director *Signature are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT On May 12, 1970, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded Denver, Colorado, the 1976 winter Olympic games. About two and half years later, on November 7, 1972, Colorado citizens voted by a three to two margin to make it a violation of Colorado’s constitution for state funds to be allocated toward the event. Colorado politicians and business leaders had spent years planning, campaigning, and traveling the globe to earn the right to host the winter sports festival. Nevertheless, with funding suddenly inaccessible, Denver’s Olympic planners were forced to rescind their invitation to “the youth of the world,” as Olympic hosts traditionally declared every four years. This dissertation delves into the political controversies surrounding the 1976 Denver winter Olympic games. Colorado’s decision to banish the Olympics was the product of a change in how Coloradans viewed economic growth, combined with broadened understandings of the political power of citizenship.

  • Let's Toast 8 Amazing Skiers & Visionaries Who Made Maine the Way Skiing Should
    2015 Where most people saw snow, they envisioned mountains of opportunity. Let’s toast 8 amazing skiers & visionaries who made Maine the way skiing should be. Class of 2015 Induction Maine Ski Hall of Fame Saturday, October 24, 2015 Grand Summit Hotel Sunday River Ski Resort Newry, Maine 1 PROGRAM Masters of Ceremonies Greg Sweetser • Dave Irons • Russ Murley • John Christi e Class of 2015 Tom Kendall John Diller Megan Roberts Luba Lowery Bruce Chalmers John Ritzo Peter Davis Jill Sickels Matlock M ISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Maine Ski Hall of Fame is to recognize those skiers, who through their efforts and achievements have brought distinction to Maine skiing. Some of these skiers made their mark in competition. Others were founders who built the sport into a way of life for so many Mainers. Still more were teachers who led countless skiers and competitors into our sport. Some had an intense impact on local skiers while others gained prominence on an international scale. Thanks to these skiers Maine has an industry that is a vital part of the economy, not only in the mountains, but throughout the state. It is to recognize the importance of skiing to Maine and its citizens that the Maine Ski Hall of Fame has been formed. By enshrining those men and women who founded and built the sport in Maine, competitors who brought prominence to Maine skiing, their coaches and mentors, and others who have made significant contributions, we shall create a permanent record of their endeavors and achievements. By doing this we shall preserve this history for those to follow, that they may understand the great achievements of these individuals.
