Émile Allais (25 February 1912 – 17 October 2012)[1] was a champion alpine ski racer from France; he won all three events at the 1937 world championships in Chamonix and the gold in the combined in 1938.

Born in Megève, he was a dominant racer in the late 1930s and is considered to have been the first great French alpine skier.

In 1937 he was a triple world champion at Chamonix, France, winning all three events (downhill, slalom, and combined).

After a spell in North and South America (Squaw Valley, California and Portillo, Chile) Allais held the post of technical director at Courchevel from 1954 to 1964, where he introduced many ideas from the U.S. regarding slope preparation and piste security.

In December 2005, 93-year-old Allais made the trip to the French Senate in Paris where he was honoured, along with a number of other ski instructors.
