After 11 years of coaching for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF), Tyler Palmer has decided to step down from his position as J1-J2 coach due to long-term health issues. The popular Website Ski Racing (www.skiracing.com) announced the former U.S. Ski Team Olympian plans to return to the Mount Washington Valley.
The following comes from Ski Racing: Palmer, who in 1971 became the first American man to win a World Cup race (a slalom in St. Moritz, Switzerland), collected two World Cup wins and four podiums during his racing career. Palmer, along with his brother Terry, also represented the U.S. at the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics. The brothers were honored by Waterville Valley in their native New Hampshire with ski runs named after them — “Terry’s Trail”, “And Tyler Too.”
