The first sentence in the Club’s inaugural annual maga- zine reads as follows…“Your Club was organized in the fall of 1936 with about one hundred members and during the winter increased to about one hundred fifty.” View of Sun Valley Lodge from the top of Dollar Mountain. Source: 1936 SVSC Annual Magazine” “The Sun Valley Ski Club” it has remained as we celebrate our 75th anniversary year in 2011. The club has expanded and contracted over time, but throughout it all, it has remained a vibrant, viable, healthy organization, being ever true to the mission statement in the opening paragraph in its constitu- tion which reads: “To encourage proficiency and enjoyment Mrs. W.

My thoughts went back to the 2001 Nationals and the 2005 World Criterium with much sweat, toil, and tears. However, like a Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland movie, Bob’s words can be infectious. Before I could yell “Stop the presses!,” the Sun Valley Ski Club was signed, sealed, and delivered for the 2010 Skier’s Edge Masters Nationals. As it turned out, I shouldn’t have feared because the 2010 version of the USSA Masters Nationals turned out to be one of the most well organized and fun projects the Ski Cub has ever put on. With people like Drury Cooper, Frank Ward, Gene Timmons, Gretchen Palmer, Bob and Lynne Nicholson, Nick Maricich and his troop of ski instructors, Michel Rudigoz, Mike Wrobel and the Sun Valley race department, the Sun Valley catering department, and a whole boat load of Ski Club volunteers, the Nationals worked like a well- oiled machine. Monday, the first day of competition, started off with a weather challenge: lots of heavy wet snow. Through a herculean effort, the first leg of the Super Combined, the Slalom was completed. The next day the weather wasn’t much better. Conditions were too dangerous to run the scheduled Super G, so like all good racers, we went powder skiing. On Wednesday, the weather cleared, and we were literally off to the races. Over 200 racers sped down the Super G course on Warm Springs. For the next two days, groups swapped Slalom and GS runs in near perfect conditions. 4 svsc 2010-11 ski annual Let’s Put on A Show Our awards parties were held in the elegant Limelight Room at the Sun Valley Resort. We started our evening festivities on Monday with a lavish welcome party. The competitors were welcomed by the mayor of Sun Valley, Wayne Willich. Then Olympic alpine commentator, Tim Ryan, took over the podium. To say that he lit up the room with his personal comments on the Vancouver Olympics would be an understatement. The highlight of the week’s party scene, however, was the appearance of the “Fuxi Girls.” Directly from Broadway, or was it Salzburg, these four scantily clad dancers brought down the house. Champions from Sun Valley included: Robin Sarchett 5 Gold medals; Nate Swing 4 Gold; Matt Murphy 4 Gold and 1 Silver; Carl Rixon Jr. 2 Gold, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze; Jean Rudigoz 1 Bronze; John Campbell 4 Silver and 1 Bronze; Bob Dreyer 2 Bronze; Ed Fenwick 2 Gold; Bob Sarchett 1 Gold, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze; Jim Tallackson 1 Silver and 1 PHOTOGRAPHY: HEATHER BLACK Bronze; Drury Cooper 4 Silver; John Droege 4 Gold; Virginia Reed 1 Gold and 3 Silver; Anna Droege 5 Gold; Nancy Auseklis 5 Gold; Nancy Dreyer 2 Silver and 2 Bronze; Heidi Flood 1 Bronze; and Ericka Hogan 5 Gold. Congratulations to all of the Sun Valley medal winners and congratulations to everyone that participated. You are all winners! The 2010 National Masters Championship in Sun Valley was by all accounts the best ever.

  • Gretl Uhl – the "Strudel-Queen" from Garmisch-Partenkirchen
    Gretl Uhl – the "Strudel-Queen" from Garmisch-Partenkirchen Gretl Hartl was born in Partenkirchen in 1923. She developed a passion for the mountains, and especially for skiing, very early on. Her parents ran a café at the Olympic Stadium in Garmisch. From 1941 onwards, Gretl also took part in official ski races, and ten years later she became a member of the German national team. During the war, from 1943 to 1945, she had worked on the Reichsbahn railway, but this did not stop her from continuing to ski. In 1948 Gretl Hartl married Sepp Uhl; they both shared the same passion for skiing. In 1951 Dick Durrance, a skier who would become very successful later on, arrived in Garmisch- Partenkirchen from Aspen, intending to present his film footage of the FIS World Cup in Colorado. Gretl and Sepp were invited to the presentation and were so delighted that they decided to emigrate to the famous American skiing town. After the Uhls found enough money to finance their crossing from Le Havre to New York and the train journey to Denver and on to Glenwood Springs, they set off, and arrived in Aspen, Colorado in November 1953. At first they lived there with their friend Wörndli in Alpine Lodge on Cooper Avenue. Later they rented a 45-dollar-a-month house on Main Street. Later on, Gretl emphasized continually that they had felt at home in Aspen from the very start, and that she and Sepp were immediately welcomed by the locals. They soon made the acquaintance of the famous skiing stars from Aspen.

It is AHS’s privilege to highlight and honor these stories – old and new – that define the upper Roaring Fork Valley’s collective identity. The final year of the decade brought a multitude of exciting opportunities to explore the past with AHS, from guided tours with historians and trained interpretive guides to four historic sites to one of the largest public archives in the region. Serving visitors and locals of all ages as a public resource, AHS guarantees we’ll continue to provide access to local history that fosters a sense of community and encourages a vested interest in the future of this special place. With a new decade upon us, this work remains as important as ever. Thanks to your continued support and participation, we look forward to continuing to celebrate the past, for the future. Sincerely, Kelly Murphy President & CEO MARGARET “MIGGS” DURRANCE Honoring Female Photographers in 2020 In honor of this year’s centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote, the historical images in this piece feature women of the era taken by Margaret “Miggs” Durrance.* Miggs was a professional photographer who worked with her husband Dick while he pursued film projects; her work appeared in national magazines such as LIFE, Look, Sports Illustrated and National Geographic.

  • Ancient Skiers Book 2014
    Second Edition - 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked if I would write the history of the Ancient Skiers, I was excited and willing. My husband, Jim, and I were a part of those early skiers during those memorable times. We had “been there and done that” and it was time to put it down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Yes, we were a part of The Ancient Skiers and it is a privilege to be able to tell you about them and the way things were. Life was different - and it was good! I met Jim on my first ski trip on the Milwaukee Ski Train to the Ski Bowl in 1938. He sat across the aisle and had the Sunday funnies - I had the cupcakes - we made a bond and he taught me to ski. We were married the next year. Jim became Certified as a ski instructor at the second certification exam put on by the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) in 1940, at the Ski Bowl. I took the exam the next year at Paradise in 1941, to become the first woman in the United States to become a Certified Ski Instructor. Skiing has been my life, from teaching students, running a ski school, training instructors, and most of all being the Executive Secretary for the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association (PNSIA) for over 16 years. I ran their Symposiums for 26 years, giving me the opportunity to work with many fine skiers from different regions as well as ski areas. Jim and I helped organize the PNSIA and served on their board for nearly 30 years.

The award was given to Lundin at the organization’s annual meeting at Squaw Valley, Calif. Lundin wrote the book in conjunction with the opening of the Washington State Ski & Snowboard Museum, which opened on Snoqualmie Pass in October 2015. Profits from the book support the museum, which has attracted more than 6,000 visitors a year since its opening. Lundin’s book traces the history of skiing on Snoqualmie Pass, while providing tidbits about skiing in Washington and Sun Valley where many Washington State residents have long come to play. It looks at the early decades when ski jumping was the most popular form of the sport and features the Mountaineers’ 20­mile race from Snoqualmie to Stampede Pass, which was the pinnacle of cross­country skiing in its day.
