The Doug Smith Memorial Downhill gets underway Feb. 8 - 15th. You're cordially invited to witness some of the nation's top racers with great viewing at various points along Big Mountain's legendary Ursa Major.

The Doug Smith Memorial Downhill Race was first run in 1948 in honor of a young local and one of Big Mountain's earliest racers, Doug Smith. During World War II, Doug worked as a Technical Sergeant and a radio gunner on a Liberator bomber with the Army Air Corp. In September 1944, Smith and his comrades gave their lives when shot down by enemy aircraft over Hersfield, Germany.

Today the Doug Smith Race is known for attracting some of the best young racing talent in the nation. Members of the U.S. Ski Team vie for World Cup placement and outstanding youngsters test their skills against U.S. and Canadian team members as they compete to earn a trip to Europe with the National Team.



Directions: Doug and Rollie Smith Memorial Downhill NorAm Competition will be at the Big Mountain Ski Resort.
