For
16 years, from 1970 until 1986 when he retired, Al Greenberg
was editor-inchief
of Skiing magazine. Under his
guidance, the magazine invested more
time and finances on product-testing
and evaluation than all other United
States publications combined.
In the mid-1970s, Greenberg was one
of the founding members of the American
Society for Testing and Materials
Committee on Skiing Safety (ASTM), and until his retirement
represented the
Society at meetings of the International
Standards Organization. According to a
former Society chairman, Greenberg
“
was the heart, the soul, the intellectual
brains, and certainly the moral force behind skiing safety
standards.”
