Library’s Quinney Award Ted Johnson: Snowbird and a Sewer Line The S. J. “Joe” Quinney Award is presented by the Utah Ski Archives to an individual or organization that has made “significant contributions to skiing” in the Intermountain West. It is presented by the Quinney family to perpetuate the vision and fortitude of its namesake, Joe Quinney, who, in 1938, spearheaded the establishment of Alta, Utah’s first ski area, and thus earned him the title of “the father of Utah’s ski industry.” A prominent Salt Lake City lawyer, Quinney died in 1983. Ted Johnson, 2013 recipient of the Quinney Award, fulfills the award’s criteria to the Nth degree. Johnson, a California native and hearty beneficiary of its beaches and surfing, worked as a handyman, photographer, ski instructor and lodge manager at Alta where he became a world-class powder skier, appearing in Warren Miller ski films and on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. His “significant contributions” to skiing are two-fold – and huge! 1. Ted founded today’s world-renowned Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort in 1971, thus putting Utah skiing on the national and international maps of destination ski areas. He was inducted into the Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame in 2007. 2. Ted spearheaded the 1971 construction of a seven mile-long, $450,000 privately-funded sewer line that runs the length of the Little Cottonwood Canyon, thus eliminating the use of septic tanks in the canyon, which is a major Salt Lake City watershed. For that he has the dubious distinction of having a sewer line bearing his name. Quite appropriately, the S. J. “Joe” Quinney Award is comprised of a small plaque mounted on a cantaloupe-sized hunk of granite rock from Little Cottonwood Canyon. Previous S. J. Quinney Award recipients include: Alf Engen, Joe Quinney, Nick Badami, Charles “Chick” Morton, Earl Miller, Wilby Durham, M. Earl Miller , Junior Bounous , Spencer F. Eccles, Stein Eriksen, Corey Engen, Zane Doyle, Suzy Rytting, Janet Quinney Lawson, Edgar Stern, Karen Korfanta , Russ Harmer, Jim Gaddis and, in 2012, John W. Gallivan. HISTORY-MAKER AWARD HONOREE THEODORE SHARP “TED” LIGETY Somewhere there’s a ski coach saying “oops.” That would be the coach who told a young Ted Ligety that he wasn’t good enough to be a member of his ski team. That’s the same Ted Ligety who in 2013 became a triple world champion in giant slalom, super G and combined; who became the fifth man in history to win three or more gold medals at one world championship and first in 45 years since Jean-Claude Killy won four in 1968. What’s more, the Park City native and one-time “student” at its Winter Sports School, is the first racer of either gender to win the super G, giant slalom and combined at One World championships. Ted was the 2006 Olympic gold medalist in combined and Photo: Mitchell Gunn/ESPAAudi four-time World Cup champion in giant slalom (2008, 2011 and 2013). He won the gold medal in giant slalom at the 2011 World Championship and successfully defended his world title in giant slalom in 2013, where he also won an unexpected gold medal in the super G and a third gold medal in the super combined. Through March 2013, Ligety had 17 victories (all in giant slalom) and 37 podiums in World Cup competition. He is expected to be a major contributor to the medals count for the U.S. Ski Team that will compete in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. No doubt, those are accomplishments of historical proportions. For those accomplishments -- and more -- Ted Ligety will received the 2013 History-Maker Award from the Ski Archives. HISTORY-MAKER AWARD HONOREE SARAH HENDRICKSON Talk about taking flight – As a snow bunny, Sarah Hendrickson would seek out every bump and mogul on a ski run and jump off it for the excitement of being airborne for just a moment. Harkening back to those snow bunny days, she recalls being smitten by ski jumping at age 7 after watching her older brother enjoy the sport for two years while she remained earthbound. That was then. Now, the 19-year old Hendrickson sails off the world’s biggest ski jumps for distances as long as a football field. What’s more, she is the reigning world champion in women’s ski jumping and the marquee member of the U.S. Women’s Ski Jumping Team that will compete in the first Olympic Winter Games open to women’s ski jumpers in Sochi, Russia in 2014.

    Transportation Observations, Considerations and Recommendations For the Tri-Canyons Area of the Salt Lake Ranger District Wasatch-Cache National Forest (December 2006) Field investigations of the current transportation infrastructure and operating systems were conducted for the Tri-Canyons by the inter-agency Transportation Assistance Group (TAG), on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service and local stakeholders. This “TAG” report was prepared subsequent to the site visit, held November 6-9, 2006. The TAG report documents a planning charrette intended to assess not only the present status of transportation facilities, but to identify challenges and opportunities to improve system safety, capacity and performance. The TAG endeavor was facilitated and funded via the Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands (ATPPL) Program, as promulgated in SAFETEA – LU. “Red Snake” Traffic Congestion, Little Cottonwood Canyon Tri-Canyons: Background and Conditions The increasingly popular Tri-Canyons area in the Salt Lake Ranger District of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest (WCNF) encompasses from north to south - Mill Creek Canyon (MCC), Big Cottonwood Canyon (BCC) and Little Cottonwood Canyon (LCC); and, is located to the east and immediately adjacent to the Salt Lake metropolitan region. Known as the Wasatch Front, this general region has a population of over two million and growing. The Tri-Canyons area contains three designated wilderness units and four major ski venues (Solitude and Brighton in BCC; Snowbird and Alta in LCC), all located within 30 miles of Salt Lake City. Although the four skiing/boarding facilities are private ventures, they are operated by permit within the WCNF. Further development of “recreational terrain” is severely limited and approaching build-out within the ranger district.

  • World Championships Return to Sweden Hirscher Targets Sailer's
    PREVIEW 2019 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - 5-17 Feb World Championships return to Sweden • Åre will host the World Championships for the third time after 1954 and 2007. • Austria is the most successful country at the World Championships with 95 gold medals, 99 silver, and 92 bronze medals (286 total medals). Switzerland is next on 191 medals - 64 gold, 68 silver, and 59 bronze. • Austria have collected at least one medal at 41 of the previous 44 world championships. The only exceptions are 1934, 1938 and 1939. • Austria (149) is one medal shy of winning its 150th medal in men's events. Norway (47) needs three more medals to reach 50 medals in men's events. • Sweden won its most gold (3) and its most total medals (7) in 2007, the last time the World Championships were held in Sweden (also Åre). • Sweden's last world title came at the World Championships in 2007, when Anja Pärson won the ladies' super-G, downhill, and alpine combined. • Pärson (7 gold) is one of four Swedish world champions alongside Ingemar Stenmark (5), Pernilla Wiberg (4) and Jonas Nilsson (1). Hirscher targets Sailer's record, Svindal bows out • Marcel Hirscher (6) is one world title shy of joining Toni Sailer as the only men with seven world titles. The other active skiers close to Sailer's men's record are Aksel Lund Svindal and Ted Ligety (both 5). • Hirscher (9) and Svindal (8) are closing in on joining four men on 10 or more World Championships medals: Kjetil André Aamodt (12), Marc Girardelli (11), Lasse Kjus (11) and Benjamin Raich (10).

This may lead to nationalistic bias, according to which judges assign higher scores to their compatriots. In order to test this claim empirically, we exploit within-performance variation of scores from all World Cup, World Championship, and Olympic Games competitions between seasons 2010/11 and 2016/17. Our findings confirm that judges assign significantly higher scores to their compatriots. Further analysis reveals that the magnitude of the nationalistic bias is significantly higher in more corrupt countries, according to the Corruption Perceptions Index. Moreover, out of the 12 most observed countries in our data, only Norway and Finland had negligible estimates of the nationalistic bias both statistically and economically. However, in contrast to previous studies, we do not find that judges assign significantly different scores to jumpers whose compatriots are present on the judging panel. We discuss our findings in the context of the growing debates about the importance of replication studies and crowdsourced research.
