Behind the Gold with Ted Ligety

BEHIND THE GOLD: WINNING TRAITS OF OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC CHAMPIONS

Behind the Gold brings the audience deep into the storyline of some of the world’s greatest Olympic and Paralympic athletes. The series of riveting fireside chat interviews will bring back memories and provide relatable life lessons.

As a kid, Ted Ligety used to rip around Park City Mountain with his brother. And while he wasn’t one of the best on the Park City Ski Team, his work ethic earned him a forerunner spot at the 2002 Olympics.

Four years later, he made the games himself, winning gold in the alpine combined at age 21. Ligety dominated giant slalom in his sport, winning five season titles. In 2013, he joined an elite group winning three World Championship gold. After failing to win a medal in 2010, he found redemption in 2014, taking giant slalom gold in one of the sport’s most talked-about second runs. Today, he’s a Deer Valley Resort ambassador, leading his family of young boys ripping around the mountain.
