Dave Derrick
At Jay Peak there is an expert trail named "Derrick Hotshot". It is
named for Dave Derrick, a promising young skier who was killed in a traffic accident on the way from his home in Newport to ski at Jay Peak. I just stumbled across an online copy of the Newport High School yearbook from 1966. Derrick's photo is on page 25. http://www.classmates.com/yearbooks/...h-School/16429 Included in his accomplishments listing is "Ski Team 1,2,3,4" I remember him from ski-bus days at Jay Peak. One year he had a racing crash and one of his ankles ended up in a cast, so he skied the rest of the year on one ski. He didn't race any more that year, but on one ski he could easily beat the local ski rats on two. |
