Hans Hinterholzer was an Austrian alpine skier who could not finish the slalom event at the 1948 St. Moritz Winter Olympics due to a fall on the first run. At his competitive times he was one of the best Austrian slalom racers. However, he did not win any national titles.
Hinterholzer was a farmer at Thumersbach by profession, and later became a skiing instructor at Saalbach-Hinterglemm. He developed a security binding for skiers. In his later years he moved to Norway where he died shortly after his 95th birthday.
