George Hovland, Jr. (June 10, 1926 – May 9, 2021) was an American cross country skier who has been competing since the 1950s. He represented the United States at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo. Hovland is a four-time Central USSA four-event champion (jumping, cross-country, slalom, and downhill) and completed every Birkebeiner, with the exception of the first one, until 2012, completing his 33rd at age 85. He has been the age group winner approximately ten times. He has been the age group champion for National Alpine NASTAR seven times and is the first non-European to complete the Swedish 90 kilometer Vasaloppet. Hovland is the founder of the Spirit Mountain Ski Area, Snowflake Nordic Ski Center in Duluth, Minnesota, and the Northshore Inline Marathon. He has also owned the Ski Kenwood (Duluth) and Mont du Lac (Wisconsin) ski areas. In August 2020, Hovland was still writing columns for his local paper at the age of 94. He died in May 2021 at the age of 94.
