The Reynolds Family in Lake Placid: Where it All Began
It all started just after the 1980 Winter Olympics, when JD Reynolds and his wife Diane moved to Lake Placid, laying the foundation for the Reynolds Family legacy in this iconic winter sports town.
JD’s passion for skiing and ski racing deeply influenced his sons Andrew, John, and Steve, as well as the next generation of his grandkids, ingraining a love for the slopes and high level competition, and producing 6 Divison-1 Alpine Ski Racers.
This shared enthusiasm has significantly shaped The Reynolds Group, intertwining their personal story with Lake Placid’s rich Olympic heritage and vibrant, sports-minded community.
“I remember once, when I was young, Dad was so determined to take the family to a spring ski camp, he sold our dining room table to pay for the trip. He instilled that same determination in me.” – Steve Reynolds
Continuing a Legacy
Steve Reynolds, influenced by his father JD’s passion, excelled as a Division-1 skier at St. Lawrence University, earning All-East, and All-American, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Marrying Brooks in 2005, they’re now nurturing their own legacy in Lake Placid with their children, Thomas, and Ava, who are embracing the family’s skiing heritage. This continuation of dedication to winter sports within the Reynolds family underscores the deep roots and enduring connection to Lake Placid’s ski racing community.
