Johno McBride - 2024 Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame

Raised in Aspen, John “Johno” McBride trained with the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club (AVSC). He was named to the US Development Team and went on to race for the University of Vermont. He started coaching with AVSC in 1989 until 1995 and then the US Ski Team from 1995 to 2008 where he led his athletes to a US record number of wins and podium finishes on the World Cup in addition to Olympic and World Cup medals. In 2002, he became the head men’s downhill and super-G coach. From 2007-2008, he coached Bode Miller to Olympic medal performances and two overall Crystal Globes and Daron Rahlves to 28 World Cup podiums and 12 World Cup victories. In 2008/2009, Johno returned to Aspen and coached at Challenge Aspen, a competitive ski team for individuals with cognitive or physical impairment. From 2010 to 2014, the Canadian Team recruited Johno to lead their speed team through the 2014 Sochi Olympics. He led the Canadian team to 20 podiums in addition to Eric Guay’s gold medal at the 2011 World Championships and a bronze medal by Jan Hudec in the super-G at Sochi. Johno is currently focusing on the family ranch and stepped down from Alpine Director with AVSC (2014-2017, 2019-2024) at the end of May 2024 but would like to return to coach U12 athletes next winter.
