Beschreibung | Charles T. ("Chuck") Ferries (born June 10, 1939) was an American alpine ski racer, as well as an Olympian in 1960 and 1964. In 1962, Ferries became the first American to win a European classic gate race, the Hahnenkamm slalom, at Kitzbühel. Bob Beattie called Ferries "the most unknown great ski racer in U.S. history." If relatively unknown to later generations, Ferries nonetheless was featured on the March 11, 1963 cover of Sports Illustrated. With Ferries depicted in sketch, the caption reads, "Best U.S. Skier." |
