HALL OF FAMERS LISTED

Olympic champion Eric Bergoust and downhill World Championship medalist Doug Lewis highlight the 2007 selections to the U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. The Hall also selected nordic combined Olympian Tom Jacobs and its first snowboarding members, Jake and Donna Burton Carpenter.

Ski industry pioneers Everett Kircher, who founded Boyne USA Resorts, and Mitch Cubberly of Cubco bindings, rounded out the selections.

Bergoust, a four-time Olympian, is the most successful aerialist in U.S. history. He won the 1998 Olympic gold medal, the 1999 FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships crown, the 2001 and 2002 World Cup aerials titles, 17 World Cup events, and three U.S. aerials championships.

Lewis, a two-time Olympian, was bronze medalist in downhill at the 1985 World Championships — the first won by an American man. He also won two U.S. downhill championships before retiring in 1988.
