AL
GREENBERG
Country: USA
Born: April 13, 1924
Died: March 24, 1990
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.”
