FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Alyeska Ski Club Board of Directors would like to congratulate all of our athletes that have participated in events and races over the past month. We have had athletes competing in IFSA, USSS and FIS events. Many of these events were key qualifiers to selections for outside regional and divisional competitions. We are very proud of all of our athletes that competed, and would like to congratulate those that were selected to represent the Alyeska Ski Club at these outside competitions. We would also like to give a big thank you to our ASC coaches. We are extremely lucky to have this exceptionally talented coaching staff. Our coaches work countless hours both on and off the snow to provide quality training opportunities and mentorship to our athletes. While not every athlete gets a position at the top of the podium, or may not finish a specific race or event, we need to keep the long term game in mind and be proud of the accomplishments they have made and the life skills they are learning. Congratulations again to our athletes, and good luck in the many competitions that ASC members will be attending in the upcoming two months. DEVOS Devos athletes have been busy improving their all mountain skiing skills. Coaches have enjoyed skiing with their groups designated by Alaska Mountain Ranges and Glaciers.

  • Discipline For
    Diisciiplliine for the SSkkiieerr In the 1994 Winter Olympics held in Norway, 23-year-old skier Tommy Moe of the United States became the first American male skier to win two medals in a single Winter Olympics, with a gold in the downhill and silver in the Super G at Kvitfjell ski resort. Moe had shown great potential for years, but according to Sports Illustrated, he had a penchant for smoking pot and drinking. In 1986, as a 15-year-old, he was invited to be a part of the U.S. ski team. But when the coaches learned that he had sneaked out of camp to smoke pot, they kicked him off the team. Moe’s father, an Alaskan construction worker, decided his son needed some discipline and he ordered him to come to Alaska. There he put Moe to work. Moe was on the job at 4 a.m. and he labored under the Alaskan sun for 12 to 16 hours a day during the long days of Arctic summer. “I worked his rear end off,” said Tom Sr. “And then I asked him if he’d rather be doing this or if he’d rather be skiing with the team in Argentina. That straightened him out.” His son recalls, “It was mental torture, bad news. It humbled me up pretty fast.” Moe got serious about ski racing quickly, leading to his championship accomplishments. He retired from international competition after the 1998 season and lives in Wilson, Wyo., serving as an ambassador of skiing at nearby Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

    USA ALPINE SKIING OLYMPIC HISTORY US Olympic History: The United States has competed in Alpine skiing at every Olympic Winter Games at which the sport has been on the Olympic Program, which is since 1936. The first great USA Alpine skiing Olympian was Gretchen Fraser, who won two medals at the 1948 St. Moritz Games, with a slalom gold and a combined silver. She was followed by Andrea Mead-Lawrence who starred at the 1952 Oslo Games, winning two gold medals in the giant slalom and slalom. No Americans won medals in 1956 but in 1960 at Squaw Valley, Penny Pitou won two silver medals in downhill and giant slalom, with Betsy Snite winning the slalom silver medal. Through 1960, no American man had won a medal with the best finish to that date a 4th- place by Tom Corcoran in the 1960 giant slalom. American men finally broke through to win Alpine skiing Olympic medals in 1964 at Innsbruck when Billy Kidd and Jimmy Heuga placed 2-3 in the slalom on the last day of the Games. It would be another 16 years before a US man won a medal in Alpine, when Phil Mahre took silver in the slalom at Lake Placid. But American women continued to win medals, with Jean Saubert winning a silver and a bronze in 1964, and in 1972, Barbara Cochran won gold in the slalom while Susie Corrock got the downhill bronze. In 1976 at Innsbruck, Cindy Nelson came through for a downhill bronze medal. American men continued on the medal podium in 1984, when Bill Johnson won the downhill, and Phil Mahre and his twin brother, Steve, went 1-2 in the slalom.
