David Gorsuch Has Died – Is Dead, Obituary, Funeral, Cause Of Death, Passed Away: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Gorsuch. Dave was a long-time Board Member and supporter of the Colorado Snowsports Museum as well as a 2002 Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame inductee. On behalf of our staff, Board of Directors, and the community, we send our deepest condolences to the Gorsuch Family. His loss will be mourned by many in the snow sports industry and beyond.
Skiing has been a defining theme in Dave’s life. Born in Climax, Colorado on September 22, 1938, he was the son of a mining community and a grandson of Colorado ranchers. Dave had a long and successful skiing career starting at the junior level and extending through college and into the international arena. He was a past junior national champion, winning the junior national combined championship in 1954 and 1956.
Dave was a member of the 1958 World Championship Ski Team and a member of the 1960 Olympic Alpine Ski Team. This Colorado native has contributed greatly to building and defining the sport of skiing in Colorado and beyond for several decades.
Dave was Mountain Manager at the Crested Butte Mountain Resort. While living in the Gunnison and Crested Butte areas, he was also a collegiate NCAA champion at Western Colorado University. In 1963, he started competing for the college ski team and won the NCAA downhill championship; earned a silver medal in slalom; and finished second in alpine combined. The following year he paced the Mountaineers to a second-place finish by placing second in slalom and third in giant slalom.
In 1962, he and his wife Renie founded Gorsuch Ltd., a specialty ski and retail shop in Gunnison. For over forty years, Gorsuch Ltd., under the leadership and guidance of Dave and Renie Gorsuch, has set the standards in the ski industry introducing generations of skiers to the beauty and magic that is skiing in Colorado.
Moving to the Vail Valley in May 1966, Dave was one of the early leaders and personalities that helped map and establish Vail as a community and the world-class destination resort it has become. Dave and Renie brought passion and enthusiasm to this community.
In addition to managing Gorsuch Ltd., they helped to build the hospital, Vail Mountain School, and Ski Club Vail. They were not alone in this effort, but theirs is a remarkable spirit that has inspired the Vail community to create a skiing ambiance unequaled in the world.
When asked what role skiing has played in his life, David replied, “It has provided me with the ability to choose great opportunities. It has given me so much.”
Celebration of life will be held at Ford Amphitheater on July 19, 2021. Gates open at 2:30 p.m.
