Testimonials

Testimonials from Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame (HOF) Members:

"Skiing in America didn't just get created overnight. Many people contributed to its creation. Who, when, where and what they invented in Colorado can be seen at the Colorado Snowsports Museum in Vail."
Warren Miller, HOF member 1995

"...The more that time goes by the more that I recognize the importance of preserving the history of our sport and livelihood. I watched and contributed to the growth of the ski resort industry across North America, and truly appreciate the role of the Colorado Snowsports Museum in collecting, preserving and displaying the critical milestones."
Ted Farwell, HOF member 1992

"The Museum is one of the most respected, fascinating, and complete snow sports museums in the world, documenting and bringing alive its rich history. So much development occurred here in the Rocky Mountains, including the amazing story of the 10th Mountain Division during and after WWII when the skiing war heroes returned to Colorado to develop the sport and create Colorado's greatest ski areas. A visit to the Museum transports you into the colorful past where you can enter the lives of the early pioneers who played such an important role in the advancement of Rocky Mountain ski culture. If snow sports have enriched and changed your life, and if all things seem right with the world when the first snow flies every year, I urge you to become a member of the Colorado Snowsports Museum."
Mark Tache, HOF member 2006

"The development of winter sports in this state is an important part of Colorado history and we as members of the Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame have a responsibility to preserve this legacy for future generations."
John McMurtry, HOF member 1995

"The Colorado Snowsports Museum and Hall of Fame captures the hundred plus years of skiing history that has made Colorado the capital of skiing in North America and one of the world's greatest snow sports destinations. Within that history, the Museum has been able to highlight the incredible stories of sacrifice, innovation and commitment from athletes, resort founders, ski troopers and industry leaders... This is an extraordinary story that focuses on the remarkable people that have dedicated their lives to Colorado snow sports and the Museum is the only place this story is captured for the enlightenment of future generations."
Andy Daly, HOF member 2000
