Bill Marolt

Olympic skier Bill Marolt (Bus) was named a 2015 George Norlin Award winner for his dedication to CU Athletics and beyond. He won three U.S. ski championships (1963 downhill, 1964 slalom and 1965 giant slalom) before taking on the head ski coach’s job at CU-Boulder in 1969. He coached 30 All-Americans and also helped with the creation of the CU women’s ski team. After working as the U.S. Ski team coach for six years, Bill became CU’s athletic director and oversaw the construction of the Dal Ward athletic complex, the addition of three women’s sports (soccer, golf and volleyball) and the university’s first national championship in football. He and his wife now split their time between Boulder and Arizona.
