Beat Feuz (German pronunciation: [ˈbe.at ˈfɔɪts], born February 2, 1987) is a World Cup alpine ski racer from Schangnau, Switzerland.[1]

Feuz secured his first two World Cup podiums at the end of the 2011 season, both in downhill races at Kvitfjell, Norway in March. His first podium was a victory, and he backed it up with another podium the following day.

Feuz carried this positive momentum into the start of the 2012 season, with four podiums by mid-December. He placed second in the first downhill of the season at Lake Louise, 0.06 seconds behind Swiss teammate Didier Cuche. He posted two podiums in Beaver Creek and then won his second World Cup event and his first in Super G on December 16, 2011 in Val Gardena-Gröden, Italy.

At his first World Championships in 2011, Feuz finished 9th in the Downhill in Garmisch, Germany. He also competed in the Super Combined, where he finished 2nd in the Downhill portion, but skied out of the Slalom course with just a few gates to go. He also competed in team event for Switzerland, which lost to Sweden in the quarterfinals.
