Heidi Voelker
Heidi Voelker (born October 29, 1969) is an American former World Cup alpine ski racer who competed in three Winter Olympics (1988, 1992, 1994). She is the current Ambassador of Skiing for Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. Born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Voelker began skiing at the age of two, chasing her three older siblings through the ski areas of the Berkshires in southwestern New England. Possessing a great skill for the sport, she launched into competitive skiing at a young age, earning silver in the slalom at the Junior World Championships (1987) and receiving Junior Alpine Skier of the Year award (1988). As a twelve-year veteran of the U.S. Ski Team (1985 to 1997), Voelker has many titles as a competitive ski racer: she holds six top-ten World Cup finishes to her credit, including a podium in 1994, and competed for gold during three Winter Olympics. She was also the 1994 National Champion in giant slalom and finished her racing career with a third-place finish in giant slalom at the U.S. Nationals in 1997. Voelker moved to Utah in 1990 and has been the Ambassador of Skiing at Deer Valley since 1995. Voelker is also featured on Utah's "ski" license plate, introduced in 2007. She is the first living human and woman to be featured on a state license plate. World Cup results
