Born in Saas-Almagell in the canton of Valais, Zurbriggen made his World Cup debut in January 1981, a month before his 18th birthday. With his victory in the downhill at Kitzbühel in January 1985 at age 21, he became the first to win World Cup races in all five disciplines. (The fifth discipline, Super G, was added in December 1982.)(Marc Girardelli, the second to enter this exclusive circle, won his first downhill race four years later at the same place).
Zurbriggen retired from international competition after having won the 1990 World Cup overall title – his fourth, which was then the most overall titles won by a single racer, reached only once before by Gustav Thöni in 1975. Again it was Marc Girardelli who followed him in 1991 with a fourth overall title, and Girardelli added another in 1993 to become the only male racer with five overall titles in World Cup history.

One of the great races of the past. Muller went earlier and put up what seemed to be an unbeatable time. Zurbriggen, his teammate went next to last. I was more a fan of Muller, being more of my kind of guy. Zurbriggen was a really straight arrow, but one great skier and a fearless competitor.
