The hour-long show, well-attended by many Hall of Famers, was an energetic moment and highlight of the packed four-day schedule brought to town by U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.
It was a who s who of the U.S. skiing world Saturday night at Black Rock Mountain Resort in Heber City, as the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame inducted their 2023 class.
FIS Rookie of the Year moguls skier Alli Macuga put down some nice lines in the inch of freshly fallen snow, zipping down the mountain on her ID One moguls skis. As we traversed down through the light snowfall to Silver Strike Express at Deer Valley, I breathed a sigh of relief that the bumps run down Champion was closed. The last thing I needed was for her to entice me into a moguls lesson.
Emotion permeated the air last Friday night as snow drifted down from the heavens around Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, reflecting in the orange glow of the Olympic and Paralympic cauldron. On stage were three generations of athletes. Some of them basked in the glow of memories from the days they won their gold, silver or bronze medals, while younger future stars had big eyes from sharing moments with their heroes.
