We had such an amazing time celebrating the Hall of Fame, our sponsors, our friends, our legacy, and our Honored Members (current and soon to be inducted!) at our annual charity golf outing this past week in Park City, Utah at the Promontory Golf Club!
The Hall of Fame couldn’t continue its incredible mission of celebrating and honoring those who have impacted snowsports on such an amazing level without our donors support.
A massive thank you to all who participated, sponsored, and donated to make this event a success!

It's our last HONORED MEMBER MONDAY before highlighting our class of 2023 inductees for the next 8 weeks!

This Honored Member Monday we recognize BILLY KIDD - Class of 1976.

Billy Kidd will be ISHA's keynote presenter for the John Frye Lecture Series at the 2024 Snowsports History Celebration in March. He will be talking All Things 1960's Olympics at Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley). Tickets for the events of the history celebration will be announced shortly!

Billy and Jimmie were second and third, respectively in slalom – split seconds behind Gold Medalist, Pepi Stiegler of Austria. Jean already had picked up a silver in giant slalom and a bronze in slalom. These performances inspired an unforgettable scene at the slalom finish line when Billy and Jimmie leaped into each other’s arms surrounded by cheering coaches and teammates. The Americans’ elation was captured in a memorable photo retained for posterity in the 1964 United States Olympic Book. While a gold medal again eluded Billy during the 1968 Winter Olympic at Grenoble, France, the Colorado skier twice since has been heralded a world champion – first as an amateur and then as a professional. Following years of ski sport in every capacity, Billy’s career continues to be a model for aspiring youngsters.

Billy’s on-the-way-up record:

• 1964 – Attained international acclaim with Olympic Silver Medal and F.I.S. Bronze Medal in combined
• 1965 – Won eight consecutive races in United States
• 1968 – Great expectations with good placings in the pre-Olympic races but fell and sprained both ankles last day of practice ahead of the Olympics at Grenoble, France
• 1969 – Won only one race , the World Cup Slalom at Squaw Valley
• 1970 – Finally, the F.I.S. Gold Medal, taking the alpine combined with third in slalom, fifth in downhill and fifteenth in giant slalom

Lastly, professional races came and the championship, being named Director of Skiing at the Steamboat Ski Area, Director of racing at Hart Ski Company and Racing Editor for SKI Magazine.
