James Peter Patterson (born January 4, 1957) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer for the United States, from Sun Valley, Idaho.[1] At the Winter Olympics, he finished thirteenth in the downhill in 1976 and fifth in 1980. At the time, he tied for the best finish by an American male in an Olympic downhill (with Bill Beck in 1952).[1][2]
Two years earlier at the 1978 World Championships at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, West Germany, Patterson was the bronze medalist in the combined event.[3][4] The combined was then a "paper race", using the results of the downhill, giant slalom, and slalom.
