Those inducted into the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame:

Jony Moseley was elected to the Class of 2006. Moseley won a gold medal in the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, with a "heli-mute-grab" on his final run in the mogul competition.

Moseley was also the World Cup combined and overall champion in 1996 before capturing five contests and the '98 moguls World Cup title. He retired in 2002 with 18 World Cup victories and also was a two-time U.S. champion.

Trace Worthington was also elected to the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame, Class of 2006. He grew up in Minnesota and was one of the first athletes to move to Park City in aerial competition.

He skied in all three freestyle events — ballet, aerials and moguls — and earned medals 37 times, including 27 combined. He is still the only person to win two gold medals at the same Worlds event. In addition to his World Cup wins, Worthington had six World Cup titles and 11 U.S. championships.

Also elected was Julie Parisien who started skiing in Maine. At 19, she won the first of three World Cups. A year later, she started the '93 World Cup season as the No. 1-ranked slalom skier in the world. Parisien retired after the 1994 season, then returned to make the 1998 Olympic Team — her third visit to the Winter Games — and re-retired following the '99 season.
