The Colorado Snowsports Museum and Hall of Fame are honored to announce the class of 2026. This class didn’t inherit Colorado snow sports; they invented much of what it became. Helping build the modern infrastructure, culture and legitimacy of their realm of snow sports, this is not a class built around one moment or medal. It’s a class built around decades of sustained contribution. Each inductee helped transform snow sports into something lasting and globally influential.
“Snowsports are integral to who we are as Coloradans. They’re our spirit, our state pastime and our identity,” says John Hickenlooper, U.S. senator and former governor of Colorado. “None of that endures without people who take that passion and push it to the next level. These trailblazers forged a path that will inspire Coloradans for generations to come.”
The class of 2026 is legendary for a reason, from snowboard innovators and stewards to celebrating the longtime leader behind Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. Tickets are now available for the induction celebration on Oct. 10 at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek…
