Biographical / Historical
Involved for a number of years in Olympic and World skiing events. After completing two years in the U. S. Air Force during World War II, he returned to the U where he was a member of the NCAA National Champion Ski Team in 1947. Movitz competed with the 1948 Ski Team in St. Moritz, Switzerland, racing in downhill and slalom events. Two years later he was a member of the U. S. team competing in the world ski championships in Aspen CO, in the slalom and the giant slalom races.
Movitz's ski racing career ended after that, but in the late 1950s he became a part of the U. S. Ski Association and was chair of the International Competition Committee in Squaw Valley, California. His son and two daughters continue the skiing tradition.
With his skiing career behind him, Movitz joined his father's importing business, from which he retired in 1996. He still keeps in close contact with the U as a fan and a generous donor. He will be enjoying the 2002 Games from his home in Holladay, Utah.
