Peter Wingle
Class of 1993,
Sport Builder
For over 30 years, Pete's U.S. Forest Service career involved him in ski area business. He convinced the Forest Service Chief to allow the industry to charge what they wanted for lift tickets. The result, which benefited all Colorado skiers, was increased investment in lifts, reduced lift lines, and improved on-mountain ski area development. He also helped organize the first National Avalanche School and his photography helped popularize back country skiing around the world.
