The Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame has announced its Class of 2024 to be inducted on Sept. 7 at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail.
The class includes former Vail resident and four-time World Cup Alpine ski overall champion Lindsey Vonn, speed skier Ross Anderson, sport builder Bjorn Erik Borgen, former U.S. Ski Team coach John McBride, and Breckenridge Resort cofounder Sigurd Rockne.
Jennifer Mason, executive director of the Colorado Snowsports Museum and Hall of Fame, said the museum is hopeful Vonn will be able to attend along with Rockne, who will be 91 years old when the induction ceremony takes place in September.
The Colorado Snowsports Museum is the state of Colorado’s official snowsports museum and holds its annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony in an effort to recognize the state’s key contributors to snowsports under the established criteria of athlete, sport builder, inspirational, or pioneer categories.
A Hall of Fame Nomination Committee evaluates and confirms the nominees to move on to the final ballot. The 140-member Hall of Fame Voting Panel is comprised of current Hall of Fame members, key snowsports industry representatives, resorts and the hall’s board of directors.
