Seller's Description:
Very good in good dust jacket. Some signs of shelfwear to dustjacket, slight tear to top left corner of front cover, pages clean and bright with no markings. 177 p. Audience: General/trade. In 1934 A SKINNY LITTLE high school kid from Florida turned up in New England and began winning ski races by enormous margins. Most American skiers were still struggling to master the basics of downhill skiing, leaving racing to European experts. Dick Durrance, on his way to Dartmouth College, showed them that it was possible to beat those experts. America was about to take its rightful place in international ski racing, and Dick Durrance was the fellow who put us there. He would go on to become four-time collegiate champion, leader of our first Olympic alpine team in 1936, winner of 17 national titles, and three-time winner of the Harriman Cup, at that time America's most prestigious ski race. In later years he played a major role in the development of the Ski resorts at Sun Valley, Alta, and Aspen, developing along the way his own ski technique, the rambunctious Dipsy-Doodle that anticipated modern ski-teaching methods by several decades. He put Aspen on the map by bringing to the United States its first major international alpine competition, the 1950 FIS World Championships, and served as Chief of Race for the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley, California. Along the way he married nationally known photographer Margaret Jennings Durrance, fathered two sons, and became an internationally acclaimed film maker. Dick Durrance's lifetime involvement with skiing virtually spans the history of that sport in America. The Man on the Medal tells, with great good humor, his adventuresome story. **If you have any queries about this book, please do not hesitate to contact us at hello@ravenbooks. ie**

Seller's Description:
Like New in Very Good jacket. Size: 11x9x1; The dustjacket has some short tears and edgewear. Inscribed on laid in page "Best Wishes to Charles and Happy Holidays Dick Durrance 1998". Richard Henry "Dick" Durrance (October 23, 1914-June 13, 2004) was a 17-time national championship alpine ski racer and one of the first Americans to compete successfully against Europeans. In 1947, Durrance was hired to manage the Aspen Skiing Company. The struggling company was turned around by Durrance, who brought the 1950 World Championships to Aspen, the first held outside of Europe. It put Aspen on the map and it is now one of the most popular ski resorts in the United States. He also produced a number of ski films and devoted most of his life to the promotion of skiing. Durrance died of natural causes at age 89 on June 13, 2004, in Carbondale, Colorado, near Aspen. His wife Miggs died in November 2002. In its 75th anniversary issue in 2011, SKI magazine listed Durrance as the "Skier of the Decade" for the 1930s.
