Maine Ski Hall of Fame

Maine Ski Hall of Fame

The Maine Ski Hall of Fame was established in 2003 to honor persons who have substantially advanced the sport of skiing and the ski industry, with special reference to the State of Maine. The Hall of Fame is a semi-autonomous division of the Ski Museum of Maine, a non-profit organization which is based in Farmington, Maine.

Most of its 39 inductees to date are Maine athletes, coaches and officials who have represented the United States in national and international competition, plus ski-industry founders, builders and organizers who are closely connected to Maine.

Honorees represent a span of more than a century, from the early 1900s to the present, and they come from the three principal branches of the sport: ski jumping, cross-country skiing and downhill skiing. According to policy, snowboarding is also represented, but no persons associated with snowboarding have to date been elected to the Maine Ski Hall of Fame.

Induction into the pantheon is by vote of the Hall of Fame Committee of the Ski Museum of Maine, which comprises 20 people who represent ski racing, the ski industry and recreational skiing. Five of 20 members also serve on the board of the parent organization.

The induction ceremony takes place at the annual Maine Ski Hall of Fame banquet, held every October at Lost Valley Ski Area in Auburn, Maine. Ten new inductees will be honored at the 2007 banquet, scheduled for Oct. 26.

The roster of honorees, listed by year of election, is inscribed on a plaque that is kept on public view at the Ski Museum of Maine, at 109 Church Street in Farmington.
