    For Immediate Release February 28, 2006 Media Contact: John Dakin (970) 949-1999 [email protected] GERMAN OLYMPIC TRIPLE MEDALIST ROSI MITTERMAIER HONORED AS 2006 LEGEND OF HONOR AT COUNTRYWIDE AMERICAN SKI CLASSIC VAIL, Colorado--A very special ceremony will round out the 2006 Countrywide American Ski Classic social festivities Saturday evening, March 25, as one of Germany’s most prolific ski racers will be honored as Rosi Mittermaier is inducted into the International Ski Hall of Fame at the Legends Banquet. “Rosi Mittermaier is a tremendous ambassador for the sport of skiing,” explained Ceil Folz, president of the Vail Valley Foundation. “Her competitive career ranks among the all time greats, while her professional endeavors continue to promote and further skiing at all levels. It is indeed an honor for us to welcome Rosi to the International Ski Hall of Fame as 2006’s Legend of Honor.” A triple Olympic medalist at the 1976 Games in Innsbruck, Austria, Mittermaier claimed the gold in Downhill and Slalom, while mining silver in Giant Slalom. She also collected an FIS World Championships gold medal in Combined at the Innsbruck Games. Mittermaier missed the Olympic hat trick by a mere 12-hundredths of a second as Canadian Kathy Kreiner spoiled the celebration with the Giant Slalom gold. One half second ahead of Kreiner’s pace at the midway timing split, the German lost precious fractions of a second when she took too direct a line into one of the final gates. The season-long 1976 campaign proved to be a special one for Mittermaier.
