Weber State University Athletics
Hall of Fame
Dick Webber
- Induction:
- 2024
In recognition of his contributions to Weber State athletics and the Ogden community, Dick Webber recevied the prestigious Reed K. Swenson Award as part of the 2024 Weber State Athletics Hall of Fame class.Â
The Swenson award celebrates individuals who have made significant impacts as athletes, donors, administrators, coaches, trainers, and managers associated with Weber State.
Dick Webber, an Ogden native and a Weber State alumnus, is celebrated for his extensive contributions both on and off the slopes. He attended Ogden High School and Weber Junior College from 1956 to 1957, where he captained the Wildcat ski team. During his college years, he achieved multiple victories, including first-place finishes in the ICAC Downhill Conference Championship and Regional Championship, as well as a third-place finish in the slalom at the conference championships.
In 1956, Webber led Weber College to a memorable victory over the University of Utah, a team that included his friend and fellow Ogden High graduate Spencer Eccles. Following his time at Weber Junior College, Webber furthered his skiing career at Denver University, where he was selected for the US men’s ski team in 1958 and the US Olympic men’s alpine training squad in 1960.
Webber’s professional career is equally distinguished. He played a pivotal role in skiing and real estate, organizing the first ski racing school at Snowbasin and developing the area’s real estate, including Park West. He co-owned a real estate company in Park City and contributed to designing the downhill course at Snowbasin for the 2002 Winter Olympics. His significant local impact was recognized with his induction into the Ogden High School Hall of Fame in 2010.
Even in his later years, Webber’s passion for skiing shone brightly. At age 75, he competed in the USSA Masters National Championships, skiing at 74 mph in a super-G race to win a silver medal in the speed category for his age division.
In 2018, the Weber State Alumni Association honored Webber with the Emeriti Lifetime Achievement Award, acknowledging his lifelong dedication and contributions to the community and to Weber State University.
