The man who launched a million skiers is retiring.
And a million is just a rough, probably low, guess because the truth is, it's incalculable how many people owe their love and enthusiasm, and expertise, for downhill skiing to Jerry Warren, the longtime mountain manager and director of skiing at Sundance Resort who has decided at 75 this will be his last ski season working full time.
Since he'd already skied at Timp Haven several times, he signed up for the class "because I thought I'd get a good grade." Jerry Warren, Sundance’s director of skiing, poses for a portrait at Sundance Ski Resort in Sundance on March 30. "We just started skiing together and became friends," says Jerry. "We rode the lift and started talking. He said he was having trouble with this turn or that turn, so I started coaching, and he loved it. He was actually one of the more powerful first learners of the cycle of learning before I knew what the cycle of learning was."
Jerry made his first of four national demonstration teams in 1974. Other four-year terms followed in 1978, 1982 and 1988. "We kind of hit the same beat on a lot of things," Jerry says of his relationship with Redford, "and I'm not talking political, or anything else. We share a love of what God's given us in these mountains and the environment. We're on the same page in those areas, and that's why I came back."
