Biographical Sketch
Korfata (b. 1945) was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming. She grew up in Pinedale, where her father managed a small ski area and coached the neighborhood children. She began racing competitively in the fourth grade, and continued racing throughout junior high and high school. Korfanta received a B.S. in biological sciences from the University of Utah, where she was coached by Marvin Melville. She was selected for the 1968 Women's Alpine Olympic Ski Team, but was sidelined by an injury shortly before the games. After retiring from competition in the early 1970s, Korfanta worked at various ski areas before becoming the race manager at Park City Ski Area in the mid-1980s.
