What is Buddy Werner League

About Us

Buddy Werner was an internationally renowned alpine ski racer who was a member of the Olympic Alpine Team in 1956, 1960 and 1964. Buddy was America’s first true world class ski racer.

  • A native of Steamboat Springs, Buddy had a breakneck style which caused spectacular spills, but also enabled him to win virtually every championship available during his mercurial career.

  • Seven of our ski days are all-mountain days with some race training and skills building and three days will be devoted to racing.

The Buddy Werner League – Vail/Beaver Creek proudly participates in CO Gives Day each December. This year’s event is on December 6 where all credit card fees are waived, allowing each donation to go just a little father. A donor can, however, donate to CO Gives any day of the year!
