Curtis Stevens slid with his youngest brother, Hubert, to win the 1932 2-man gold medal at Lake Placid. The elder Stevens also won several national titles and one North American title on the 4-man bobsled. Curtis Stevens spent much of his life running the family business, the Stevens Hotel in Lake Placid, but he also had a fuel and oil dealership in Lake Placid. A graduate of Rensselaer Polytech, Stevens was also an accomplished motorboat racer, having won many races in that sport, including an international regatta in Cuba in 1929.
