Alvin P. Wegeman

Alvin Paul Wegeman (born March 1, 1927) was an American nordic combined skier who competed in the 1950s. He competed in the Nordic combined event at the 1952 Winter Olympics, but did not finish. Wegeman also competed for the United States at the 1950 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Lake Placid, New York.

A native of Colorado, Wegeman attended the University of Denver and worked as a ski instructor in the Vail area of Colorado Springs. Wegeman later played a key role in instructing future American Winter Olympic athletes by developing the Steamboat Springs area, which would develop more Olympic athletes in Colorado.

He was inducted into the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 1998. His late brother Keith was inducted into that Hall of Fame in 1989.
