Greg Jones (skier)

Gregory Jones (born December 3, 1953) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from the United States.

Born in Tahoe City, California, he specialized in giant slalom. Jones competed in all three events at the 1976 Winter Olympics and finished 9th in the giant slalom, 11th in the downhill, and 19th in the slalom. His all-around performance earned a World Championship bronze medal in the combined event.

Jones won a World Cup race a few weeks later in the United States at Copper Mountain, Colorado. Teammate Phil Mahre was the runner-up for the first-ever one-two finish by U.S. men in a World Cup race.

Jones was inducted into the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame in 1978.
