The Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame announced that native Coloradan, legendary skier and Hall of Fame member Chris Anthony will host the 2024 Hall of Fame Celebration. The Class of 2024 is an inspiring group representing a wide range of people across the snow sports industry. From speed skiing and alpine racing on international fronts to the snow sports devotees building the sport behind the scenes, the 2024 inductees have dedicated their lives to snow sports, making a lasting impact in Colorado. The celebration will also honor the annual award winners, from snow sports advocates to some of the greatest athletes.
For more than 28 years, Chris Anthony traveled as a member of the Warren Miller film team. During his career, he has freelanced for several publications, co-authored a guidebook, commissioned and written a screenplay, and hosted and produced several television and film projects. He has also volunteered thousands of hours for several charitable organizations, raising over $1 million on their behalf, before building his youth outreach project. In recent years, Anthony has dedicated his time to the documentary project: โMission Mt. Mangart,โ which tells the story of the first American ski troop: the 10th Mountain Division. It showcases the soldiers; resilience and determination in the face of adversity and offers a unique and captivating perspective on a pivotal moment in world history. Proceeds from screening this film benefit the Chris Anthony Youth Initiative Project. โMission Mt. Mangartโ was honored as Best Historical Documentary at the Cannes World Film Festival. Chris was also inducted into the United States Army 10th Mountain Division Warrior Legend Hall of Fame in 2023.
As a Hall of Fame inductee himself, Chris knows just how important hosting this night is to the 2024 inductees, their families, friends, and all who attend each year.
The induction ceremony kicks off at 3 pm on September 7, 2024, at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail, Colorado.ย More information and tickets are available here: https://www.snowsportsmuseum.org/shop/2024celebrationtix
