Summary: BEAVER CREEK, Colo. — His face showed little expression as he glided his way down the hill. This was serious business — no laughing, smiling or crying. With his two-time Olympic gold medalist father holding on, 17-month-old Jax Ligety took his first trek down the slope a few months ago. The look: pure determination. It’s a look Ted Ligety knows all too well. He’s that determined to return to the top. For years, Ligety has been plagued by knee and back issues.
