The Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame began in 2002, along with the Alf Engen Ski Museum, in conjunction with the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. With 3 new members being inducted into the hall of fame, the total number of honorees to date will be 83. The original induction and award ceremony was scheduled for September 24, 2020, at the Alf Engen Ski Museum but has since been postponed due to Covid-19.
With such impressive backgrounds and careers, I feel deeply thankful for all the contributions they have made to the ski industry over the years. Cheers to the new honorees!
