Native American Ross Anderson became the fastest skier in the Western Hemisphere, hitting a speed of 247.934 kph in 2006 at Les Arcs, France. Born in New Mexico, he grew up in Durango, Colo., as a ski racer, but he discovered speed skiing and never looked back. He became one of the top U.S. Speed Skiing Team athletes, winning bronze at the 2005 World Championships, and is an eight-time national champion. Anderson is also known for leveraging his athletic success to bring skiing to native youth.

Anderson, who is enrolled with the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes of Oklahoma and also part Chiricahua and Mescalero Apache, earned the moniker Fastest Native American on Mother Earth for his accomplishments on snow.
