Besides four other athletes and sport builders coming from other backgrounds 2006 Olympic moguls bronze medalist Toby Dawson as well as freestyle aerials champion Kris Feddersen were part of the honorees.

Over 500 attended the formal induction ceremony Saturday April 5 at the Newpark Fieldhouse in Park City, UT.

However, all honorees will be formally enshrined in the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame located in Ishpeming, MI, the birthplace of the National Ski Association (now U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association) in 1905, September 19, 2014.

The total number of honoured members in the Hall of Fame will thus increase to 394.

“Each year we are amazed by the pioneering stories of our Hall of Fame inductees. They represent the highest level of dedication to our sport. Thanks to the entire Park City community for turning out with one of our largest inductions ever,” said Tom Kelly, Chairman, U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.

The inductees were selected by votes cast by a National Voting Panel of over 200 representing all areas of the sport.

Nominations for 2014 are now being accepted through April 30. Anyone may make a nomination. Details are available at www.skihall.org.

The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization based in Ishpeming, MI. Donations of support for its cause in honouring pioneers of the sports of skiing and snowboarding are welcome at www.skihall.org.
