International Attendance at ISHA Awards Banquet

ISHA’s 30th Annual Awards Banquet, held March 23 at the Sun Valley Inn, welcomed ski historians from Canada, the United Kingdom and Austria, plus New England, Colorado, Wyoming, Seattle and California. Photos by David Moulton.

Jeff Leich (left), retiring executive director of the New England Ski Museum, received a Lifetime Achievement Award for research, writing and museum stewardship.

Lowell Skoog received his second ISHA Award from ISHA President Seth Masia. This award is for Written in the Snows: Across Time on Skis in the Pacific Northwest.

Ingrid Christophersen received an Ullr Award for To Heaven’s Heights: An Anthology of Skiing in Literature. A retired ski coach and FIS delegate, she travelled from her farm near Brighton, England. ISHA Chairman Rick Moulton presents the trophy.

Mountaineer Chic Scott won a Skade Award, plus the first John Fry Award for Excellence, for his book Mount Assiniboine: The Story. He travelled from Banff, Alberta.

Producer Marcus Knaus and screenwriter Allesandra Ravanelli received an award for their film 120 Years Ski Club Arlberg. They travelled 5,500 miles from Vienna to join us. Their next project: a video biography of Hannes Schneider.

Before the awards banquet, ISHA Vice President Wini Jones staged a raucous vintage fashion show. Participants included (left to right) Bill Sanesh, Terri Smith, Wini Jones, Bryce James, Dave Valenti, Taylor Valenti, Susan Crist, Juli Webb and James Sunstad. Mike Vowels in front.
