- William Winston "Billy" Kidd is a former alpine ski racer, a member of the U.S. Ski Team from 1962-70. Originally from Burlington, Kidd grew up in the 1950s in the ski town of Stowe, Vermont, where his family ran a motel, and he became a top junior ski racer. A silver medalist in the slalom at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Kidd was the first American man (along with Jimmy Heuga, who took bronze in the same race) to earn an Olympic medal in alpine skiing. Both Kidd and Heuga were just 20 years old at the time. Kidd also took third in the combined, then a non-medal event in the Olympics (but a world championship medal event). He finished 8th in the giant slalom and 16th in the downhill. In the last non-World Cup season of 1966, he won three big races in Europe and was actually outracing Jean-Claude Killy. Kidd suffered the first of two major injuries that almost ended his career, an ankle sprain, which resulted in a tendon operation. Later the same year he broke his leg in downhill training just before the 1966 World Championships in August in Portillo, Chile. The injury kept also him out of the first World Cup season of 1967. During this injury time he returned to college at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The following year he took fifth in the giant slalom at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France. He took 15th in the downhill, and did not finish the slalom. Following the Olympics, he won a World Cup slalom in Aspen in March and finished 7th in the overall World Cup standings, the best from North America. For the 1968 World Cup season, Kidd finished 8th in giant slalom, 9th in downhill, and 10th in slalom. At the 1970 World Championships in Val Gardena, Italy, Kidd won the gold medal in the combined and the bronze in the slalom. Following the conclusion of the world championships in mid-February, Kidd retired from the World Cup circuit, then immediately joined the new pro circuit, started by former U.S. coach Bob Beattie. Kidd won the pro championship the same year, the only racer to hold world titles in the two circuits at once. Due to injuries, Kidd retired from pro racing in 1972. He relocated to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in 1970 and has since been identified with the Steamboat Ski Resort, where he continues to serve as its director of skiing. Kidd skied for the University of Vermont before being named to the U.S. Ski Team in 1962. He graduated from the University of Colorado in 1969 with a degree in economics. Kidd is part Native American, a member of the Abenaki tribe. He is captain of the Native American Olympic Ski Team.
