      History

      Douglas "Doug" Grey Lewis is an American former World Cup alpine ski racer. Doug was born on January 18, 1964 in Middlebury, VT. He began skiing at age 3 and he won the 1980 US J2 Championship as a sophomore. After competing in the 1984 Olympics at age 20 (placing 24th in the downhill), Lewis made his World Cup debut a month later in March 1984 with an 8th-place finish at Whistler, BC. The following season, Lewis had two World Cup top ten finishes and was the bronze medalist in the downhill at the 1985 World Championships at Bormio, Italy. His only World Cup podium came six months later, a second-place finish in Las Leñas, Argentina, in August 1985. He competed in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympic Games, placing 32nd in the downhill. He graduated from the University of Vermont in 1992 with a degree in small business management. He coached for five years at his former high school, Green Mountain Valley School, and has been a skiing ambassador for the Sugarbush Resort. Lewis is a co-founder of Eliteam, a program to improve summer conditioning for young ski racers, in Waitsfield, VT and in Park City, Utah. Lewis is currently an analyst for alpine ski racing with Universal Sports. He was named to the US Ski-Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2019.
