The US Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame named Douglas Pringle to its class of 2025. The hall of fame honors individuals who have shaped and elevated skiing and snowboarding in America.
In a career spanning a half-century, Pringle launched 42 adaptive learn-to-ski programs around the country, helped lead Disabled Sports USA, served a formative role in the evolution of the Paralympics, and wrote the first curriculum on teaching people with blindness to ski. He was inducted into the Move United Adaptive Sports Hall of Fame in 1997. Pringle learned to three-track ski in the 1960s after a lower-limb amputation during his military service in Vietnam.
The 2025 class will be inducted on April 11, 2026, at the U.S. Ski & Snowboard USANA Center of Excellence in Park City, Utah.
