Tom Jacobs, University of Colorado skiing head coach from 1953-56 and a hall of famer who touched every aspect of the sport, passed away April 10 at his Glens Falls, N.Y., home. He was 87 and had just wrapped another ski season, spending 36 days on the slopes.

Known worldwide as the owner of Reliable Racing Supply, Jacobs touched skiing in myriad ways across over six decades as a sport leader. An Olympic athlete, he was a pioneer at Colorado, playing a pivotal role in developing rules for NCAA skiing, served as an executive director for the National Ski Association (now USSA) and led his innovative ski racing supply business to become a global leader.

“Tom Jacobs typified the great pioneers of our sport, combining passion, innovation and hard work to make ski racing the sport it is today,” said USSA President and CEO Tiger Shaw.
