Biography
John Fry (January 22, 1930 – January 24, 2020) invented the Nations Cup of alpine ski racing by which the relative strengths of the world's national ski teams are ranked annually. Fry created Nastar (National Standard Ski Race), a system for recreational skiers to experience the thrill of racing, in use at more than a hundred U.S. ski areas. He worked as a journalist and as chief editor of large-circulation magazines devoted to skiing, golf, and outdoor recreation and travel. He served as editor-in-chief of SKI Magazine and founding editor of Snow Country Magazine. He wrote more than 300 published articles and opinion columns about skiing. He is the author of the award-winning Story of Modern Skiing, about the revolutions in the sport that happened after World War II.
