Ski Champion John Truden

John Truden, Heavyweight Ski Champion

70's Ski Champion John Truden

We’ve introduced you to James Pellegrine, big gent and amazing surfer. Jimbo isn’t the only man of size to have taken up a sport you wouldn’t expect to see someone of his stature participating in. The man you see here is John Truden. In the early 1970’s, Truden was a multiple Heavyweight Ski Championship winner. This photo (shot by photographer Chip Carey) from blog The Mountain World, shows him in action.

Thanks to Ravzilla for pointing this out to us.
