Junior Bounous
Junior Bounous (born August 24, 1925 in Provo, Utah, USA) has been known as a "Pioneer in the American Ski Industry" (as quoted by Chuck Rowan in his nomination for Bounous into the National Ski Hall of Fame) and has been skiing the Wasatch Mountains and elsewhere for over 70 years. He is known for his ski accomplishments and teaching.
== Early beginnings ==
Junior Bounous was born on August 24, 1925 in Provo, Utah. He was the sixth child of Italian fruit farmers, and grew up learning how to ride horses, ice skate, and take care of the farm. Since farm life was busy, his parents never thought of a name for him at the time of his birth, so until well into his mid-20s his birth certificate read "Boy Bounous".〔Bounous, Junior. Telephone. 21 May 2008.〕 Being the youngest of a large family, his unofficial name became "Junior" immediately, and since then no one has ever thought about changing it.
Growing up in Provo Canyon, he was introduced to multiple winter sports at a young age. One in particular that he immediately became attracted to was skiing. At the age of 8, he made his own pair of skis out of barrel staves that his dad had cut out for him. He taught himself how to move on skis near home, where he would hike up a small hill in his backyard and then push himself down. Since it was not very big, he usually only got one turn from it, and it typically was a left turn as to avoid a pile of manure at the bottom of the hill. To this day, Junior claims that his left turn is better than his right because of this.〔Bounous, Junior. Telephone. 21 May 2008.〕
When he was 11 years old, his mother bought him his first pair of real skis. When he was still in his teens, Junior became friends with Ray Stewart. Also a skier, Stewart's wealthy family had bought a large plot of land in Provo Canyon, and Stewart wanted help setting up a rope tow. At the age of 18, Junior helped him set one up, and played a role in scouting for a place to put it and finding an adequate run that skiers of all abilities would be use.〔''Utah Storybook "Before Sundance''〕
