Our passion which will have the longest
continuing impact is the Squaw Valley
Olympic Museum and Winter Sports Heritage
Center to be built at the entrance to Squaw
Valley, the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics.
The design concepts for the Center and the
approvals from Placer County and the US
Forest Service have been achieved. There
could be several years of construction after
sufficient startup resources are obtained. This
will be the major archive for snowsports history in California and Nevada. US ski history
started in California with clubs, racing leagues
and racing over 150 years ago. The museum
will house a Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.
This is a multimillion dollar project and when
completed worth every penny. It will be a
learning center, a repository for donated private collections, an authoritative source for
historical information and a worldwide
tourism attraction.
