Louise White

 
 

Louise began competing in 1932 and in 1937 won the downhill, slalom, and combined at the US Amateur Ski Association Championships at Berthoud. For the next three years she continued to win almost every ski race she entered.  Louise was poised to be Colorado’s first Olympic Champion, but due to World War II, the Winter Olympics were cancelled during her career. After retiring, she founded the Colorado Skiing Association, the first women’s ski association.
