David Gorsuch passed away at home, surrounded by family, on June 26, 2021, in Vail, Colorado. He was 82 years old.
David was born in Climax, Colorado, on Sept. 22, 1938, 11,360 feet above sea level. The allure of mountain summits never lost its hold on him.
David, a promising young racer, competed in the 1954 Junior Nationals in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There, he met Renie Cox, a young woman from the Northeast and a top competitor. They shared the podium that year as medal winners. David competed in the 1958 Alpine World Championships in Bad Gastein, Austria. The pair competed internationally and were members of the 1960 U.S. Ski Team that competed in the Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California.

The Summit High School varsity boys lacrosse team fell to 0-7 on the season in a 20-1 loss Friday, June 4 at Eagle Valley.
Tigers head coach Matty Marks said Summit had only a few substitutes for the varsity game. Playing with junior varsity players and additions to the team from the Fraser Valley Lacrosse Club, the Tigers struggled to keep pace with the 6-2 Devils, who are on a playoff run and are tied with Vail Mountain School at the top of the 4A Western Slope League standings.
“We had a few subs but it’s just a matter of the gas in the tank when there are only that many guys,” Marks said. “We kind of got depleted in the first quarter. It’s hard to stay focused and motivated but these kids are doing their best job of giving their best effort and fighting through. It doesn’t matter the score, they play hard and I’m proud of that camaraderie and that competitiveness of the guys we do have.”
