Brooks Dodge (December 30, 1929 – January 17, 2018) was an American alpine skier.[1] He competed at the 1952 Winter Olympics and the 1956 Winter Olympics.[2] He graduated from Dartmouth College and Harvard Business School.[2]
During his Olympic career, he helped develop innovations in tighter ski wear and in safer bindings for racers. In the 1950s, Dodge was part of a team that started the development of the Wildcat Mountain Ski Area, laying out and cutting some of the original trails.[3]
