Billy Kidd Skiing
Kidd made a name for himself that first season at age 18 with an eighth place in the slalom and a 15th place in the giant slalom (GS) at the 1962 World Championships in Chamonix, France. After enduring a season hampered by injuries, Kidd entered the 1964 season with high hopes and gritty determination.
Finishing all three races kept him eligible for the combined, then a non-medal event in the Olympics (but a World Championship medal event), and he took third for the FIS bronze. In the final non-World Cup season of 1966, Kidd won three important races in Europe and was actually outracing Jean-Claude Killy.
Kidd suffered the first of two major injuries that almost ended his career, an ankle sprain in late January, which resulted in a tendon operation. Later the same year he broke his right tibia in two places during downhill training at the 1966 World Championships, held in August in Portillo, Chile.
The injury also kept him out of the first World Cup season of 1967. During this injury time, he returned to college at the University of Colorado in Boulder. His first World Cup victory came a month later at the Roch Cup slalom in Aspen, Colorado. His second win came a year later, also a slalom on U.S. snow at Squaw Valley, California.
At the 1970 World Championships in Val Gardena, Italy, Kidd won the gold medal in the combined and the bronze in the slalom. On winning the gold, he said, “I’d always promised my mom I’d bring home a gold medal.” Following the conclusion of the World Championships in mid-February 1970, Kidd retired from the World Cup circuit, and immediately joined the new pro circuit.
Started by former U.S. Ski Team coach (and Kidd’s and Heuga’s University of Colorado ski coach) Bob Beattie. Kidd won the pro championship the same year, the only racer to hold world titles in the two circuits at once. Nagging injuries led to few starts during the 1972 season and he retired from the pro circuit that fall. He is honorary captain of the Native American Olympic Ski Team.
