Chris Dillmann/cdillmann@vaildaily.com The many families of David Gorsuch on Monday filled the covered seating at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. Those families — children, grandchildren, former and current employees and those from the skiing world — turned out to honor the memory of one of the pioneers of the American ski industry, and a pioneer of the Vail community. The memorial started before the gates opened, with handshakes, hugs and fond memories shared under the canopy at the amphitheater’s entrance. As those in the crowd found their seats, alphorns began playing “Amazing Grace.” Helmut Fricker and another alpenhorn player salute Dave Gorsuch on Monday at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail.
Dave Gorsuch embodied the mountain life It was a gorgeous winter evening as a young boy joined his father on the T-bar at Chalk Mountain outside Climax, Colo. When they reached the top at around 12,000 feet, a full moon was creeping up over the ridgeline. They looked back down at the majestic floodlit slope. After a moment, dad skied over to the lift shack and flipped a switch, turning off the lights and flipping on the moonlight for a father-son cruise down the backside of the mountain to their home. Such was life for young David Gorsuch. His father, Jack, was one of those ski area pioneers who bootstrapped lifts onto mountains and introduced a passionate generation to the sport of skiing. Young David would go on to become one of America’s great ski racers and forge a lifelong relationship with the love of his life, skier Renie Cox, as icons of the retail ski industry with the Gorsuch brand.
Thank you, Richard Carnes, for your recent column on one of Vail’s patriarch’s, Dave Gorsuch. Your story is a great reminder to all of us the impact we have on one another, how lasting wisdom is shared and the reminder to express gratitude. I met Dave at K2 Ski Camp in Grande Targhee, Wyoming in 1972 as a 16-year-old. I was struck that this dad would come up in mid-June for two weeks to set ski gates for us kids so we could practice on the high glaciers. His presence had a greater impact on me than the featured ski coach, Spider Sabich. You see, Dave was there helping us kids (and his sons — I don’t recall which ones) improve our racing skills. He was there for us.

Bret Hartman/Vail Daily file photo VAIL — Dave Gorsuch was one of Vail’s founding fathers, and a leader in the business community. But he was also ‘papa’ to any number of Vail kids in the 1960s and 1970s. Sitting Wednesday in the Vail home Dave and his wife, Renie, built 50 years ago, Renie, along with sons John, Jeff and David, talked about the patriarch of one of Vail’s founding families. Time to gather Dave Gorsuch died June 26 at his home in Vail. He was 82. A service to honor Gorsuch’s life is set for July 19 at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater.
