U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame candidates are nominated under established criteria in three categories: Athlete, Sport Builder and Heritage.
The Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee evaluates nominees based on minimum qualifying criteria and votes to establish the final ballot. That ballot then moves to the National Hall of Fame’s Voting Panel, which is composed of Honored Members of the Hall of Fame, key snow sport industry representatives, resort representatives, and Hall of Fame board directors and committee members.
The U.S. National Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame and Museum’s mission is to honor and celebrate the athletes, pioneers and visionaries of the United States who have significantly enriched the global sports of skiing and snowboarding. The Hall also showcases their stories and historic memorabilia at its national museum in Ishpeming, Michigan, the birthplace of organized skiing in America.
The Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, making donations tax-deductible.
