Dane Spencer (born December 24, 1977) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer and current assistant coach with the U.S.
He attended the University of Colorado in Boulder and was a member of the 2002 U.S. Olympic team and finished 16th in the giant slalom, held in Park City.
Battling injuries during the 2006 season, he narrowly missed the Olympic team in 2006, and was back in North America in February to tune up for the remainder of the World Cup season in Europe with several events on the Nor-Am Cup circuit.
[4][5] The same Ursa Major race course had ended the comeback attempt of Bill Johnson five years earlier, after a violent crash at the "Corkscrew" section left the 1984 Olympic champion significantly impaired by a head injury in 2001.
He started only a handful of World Cup events and retired from racing following the 2010 season at age 32.
