Honored Member Spotlight - Walter Schoenknecht Do

Honored Member Spotlight - Walter Schoenknecht

Does Walter Schoenknecht need and introduction? Does Mount Snow need a description? They shouldn’t. If there’s any man and any mountain to which a generation of intermediate skiers owe a massive debt of thanks, it’s these two.

Walter made skiing fun for all levels of skiers. Take two lessons and you could sweep down the mountain from the top – not on some second-class citizen narrow work road or logging trail but on a big, wide, undulating slope that forgave a few mistakes. No oppression of trees and moguls, no terror of missing THE ONLY WAY TO TURN and crashing into oblivion; rather, a comforting knowledge that you would not only survive but gain confidence in time to ramble beneath the liftlines even before you were a super-expert! You would do it warm and loose and happy, basking in the sun on those east-facing runs. Oh, perhaps the purity of an earlier time took a beating – but the sport of skiing grew mightily in the fifties and sixties and nowhere more joyously than at Mt. Snow.

Shaken by financial problems that would have shuttered most other enterprises, Mt. Snow stands in southern Vermont, an unfinished masterpiece, a 1,800 foot, east-facing, sunny, intermediate mountain with long, sweeping, wide trails, tons of open slopes and trail names like Ego Alley and Exhibition. Big, colorful, two-people gondolas pop like hatching Easter Eggs from clock-tower terminals; base and hotel lodges blare like choruses of “Stars and Stripes Forever” and the wild impact as you drive in makes your pulse beat quicker and forces you to grin despite yourself. And the people – you go back six, seven years and you couldn’t find a weirder mélange. Mount Snow was welcome here, the affluent and the aspiring, the know-it-alls and the novice. Everyone laughed at the excesses, the goldfish and the Oriental pools and the archaeology of lifts, and they came back again in an avalanche because it was fun. A non-stop carnival whirling ever outward and onward, more and bigger…. Walter Schoenknecht was elected to the U.S. Ski Hall of Fame in 1979.
