Yesterday, the skiing community lost a true legend.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Gretchen Rous Besser, a pioneering ski patroller, historian, scholar, author, and lifelong ambassador for the sport she loved so dearly.

For more than seven decades, Gretchen devoted her head, heart, and extraordinary talents to skiing and the National Ski Patrol. From earning first tracks as part of Stowe’s Dawn Patrol, to becoming the National Ski Patrol’s first Historian, to authoring The National Ski Patrol: Samaritans of the Snow, her contributions helped preserve and shape the history of skiing for generations to come.

A Fulbright Scholar, Columbia University Ph.D., accomplished linguist, and member of the inaugural National Ski Patrol Hall of Fame, Gretchen’s accomplishments reached far beyond the slopes. Yet those who knew her best will remember her passion, determination, generosity, and unwavering commitment to helping others.

Whether mentoring fellow patrollers, preserving ski history, promoting mountain safety around the world, or simply sharing stories from a lifetime of adventure, Gretchen embodied the spirit of service that defines our sport.

Her tracks run deep through the mountains she loved and through the countless lives she touched.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, fellow patrollers, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Thank you, Gretchen, for your remarkable life, your dedication, and your enduring legacy.

May your next run be endless powder and blue skies.

Few names are as intertwined with the history of Aspen skiing as Michael and Steve Marolt.

As twin brothers, competitors, coaches, mentors, and lifelong ambassadors of the sport, the Marolts helped shape generations of skiers both on and off the mountain. Their passion for skiing, commitment to community, and lasting impact on Aspen’s rich ski heritage continue to inspire athletes and enthusiasts alike.

Today, we celebrate Michael and Steve Marolt for their remarkable contributions to skiing and the enduring legacy they have built together.

While not pictured above, because photographs were still a rarity at the time, mail still had to be delivered through the heart of winter. That job often fell to men like John “Snowshoe” Thompson, the legendary mail carrier who crossed the Sierra Nevada on handmade skis, delivering mail in conditions most wouldn’t dare travel through.

Long before ski resorts and chairlifts, skiing in America was built on necessity, endurance, and survival.

In 1994, Tommy Moe gave American skiing one of its all-time moments. Flying down the downhill track in Lillehammer, Norway, Tommy skied with the kind of fearless style that made people stop and watch. By the time he crossed the finish line, he had earned Olympic gold. Just a few days later, he backed it up with a silver medal in the super-G.

What made Tommy so loved wasn’t just the medals, it was the way he carried himself. Tough, humble, and completely authentic to the sport. His gold medal run wasn’t polished or perfect, it was pure grit, confidence, and speed. The kind of skiing that inspired an entire generation to chase powder, race hard, and love the mountains a little more.

Even today, that run still gives ski fans chills.

Ever wonder where the nickname “Fuzz” comes from?

Turns out, Kris Feddersen has had thick, wild hair his whole life, and it stuck with him from the moment he started skiing as a kid in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The name fit then, and it still fits now.

What also stuck? A relentless love for freestyle aerial skiing that took him all the way to three Winter Olympics (’88, ’92, ’94), more than 30 World Cup podiums, and eventually a spot in the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.

After hanging up his competition skis, Fuzz didn’t slow down. He coached the U.S. Aerial Ski Team at the 1998 Nagano Olympics and watched his athletes take home two gold medals. Then he turned around and found a new way to share the sport he loves, founding Ski with a Champion at Deer Valley so regular skiers could experience the mountain through the eyes of an Olympian.

Some people retire from the sport. Fuzz just found more ways to give back to it. 🙌

Back in 2022, legendary ski coach Phil McNichol was inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in recognition of a career that helped shape generations of American ski racing.

Now, the story continues.

This week, Phil was officially named head coach of the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team men’s program, returning to the role he previously held during one of the most successful eras in U.S. ski racing history.

From coaching athletes like Bode Miller, Ted Ligety, Daron Rahlves, Steven Nyman, and Marco Sullivan, to building a culture centered around trust, teamwork, and athlete development, Phil’s impact on the sport continues to be felt across generations.

Hall of Famer. Mentor. Builder of teams. And now back where he belongs.

Congratulations, Phil McNichol.

Earlier this year, Raelene Davis was inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in recognition of the hard work and dedication that helped shape Utah into one of the premier destinations for skiers and snowboarders from around the world.

And just last week, Raelene and Ski Utah were honored once again, this time by the National Ski Areas Association with a marketing award recognizing their continued impact on the industry.

What an incredible year for Raelene and Ski Utah. The recognition is well deserved, and the influence they’ve had on skiing and snowboarding in Utah continues to inspire the entire mountain community.
