SAM Magazine—Manchester Center, Vt., Feb. 5, 2016—The International Skiing History Assn. (ISHA) is honoring several broadcasters, filmmakers, writers, and historians for their achievements during the 24th annual ISHA Awards in Aspen on April 7.

ISHA will hand out two Lifetime Achievement Awards. One goes to broadcaster Greg Lewis, who has covered two Winter Olympics, several World Championships, and World Pro Skiing during his 30-plus-year career. The other goes to museum curator Karin Berg, director of Oslo's Holmenkollen Ski Musium for three decades. Berg has amassed one of the world's greatest collections of skiing artifacts and written several award-winning ski history books.

Several writers will receive Ullr Awards for contributions to skiing's historical record, among them Warren Miller, for his memoir, Freedom Found, and Marit Stub Nybelius and Annette R. Hofmann for License to Jump! A Story of Women's Ski Jumping. Nathaniel Vinton will be recognized for The Fall Line: How American Ski Racers Conquered a Sport on the Edge.

Others to be honored for outstanding work on regional ski history include Cathleen Norman, Winter Park Resort: 75 Years of Imagining, and Halvor Kleppen for Snowshoe Thompson: Jon Fra Tinn (Jon from Tinn). ISHA is also recognizing the film/book tandem, Whistler/Blackcomb: 50 Years of Going Beyond, filmed and directed by freeskiing pioneer Mike Douglas with the print piece written and edited by Leslie Anthony and Penelope Buswell.

The April 7 awards banquet will be held, fittingly, at the historic Hotel Jerome in Aspen. For more information or to register, call 802.366.1158 or go to https://www.skiinghistory.org/events.
