Opening in July of 2002 on the first floor of the Joe Quinney Winter Sports Center, this museum was curated with artifacts and exhibits highlighting the rich history of skiing in the Intermountain West and preserving the remarkable history of skiing in the entire Intermountain Region (the geographic area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the Cascade & Sierra Nevada ranges to the west). The museum showcases many contributions to ski area development, athletic competition, snow safety, ski innovation, and ski teaching methods. It's a "Must-See" for any ski enthusiast.
