As some might know, I curate the Silent Auction for the U,S, Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame and we were able to secure some incredible products, lift tickets/passes and signed memorabilia. Proceeds go to support a great organization.

With nearly 150 exceptional items available, the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame is proud to present its largest and most prestigious Silent Auction to date. This event offers a remarkable selection of exclusive memorabilia, premium gear, and unique experiences for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Live Event Information:
Snowsport History Celebration in Lake Placid, New York
The US Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame is holding its annual industry gathering in Lake Placid, New York on March 26th - 29th, 2025.

The induction event will be held Saturday the 29th honoring our Class of 2024 Inductees:
Sarah Billmeier, Barrett Christy Cummins, Denny & Chris Hanson, Hannah Kearney, Greg Lewis, Jimbo Morgan, Chuck & Jann Perkins, Park Smalley, and Class of 2023's Jeff Brushie.


Among the highlights, we are honored to feature signed memorabilia from the greatest living skier, Mikaela Shiffrin, as well as autographed posters from legendary figures such as Greg Stump, Diann Roffe-Steinrotter, Donna Weinbrecht, Franz Klammer, Nelson Carmichael, and more.

For those seeking high-quality equipment, the auction includes hardgoods from Apex, Atomic, Fischer, Gnu, Head, Peak, and Stöckli, alongside premium accessories from Hotronic, LEKI, RaceWax, and Toko.

A premier offering in this auction is the Ski Utah Lift Ticket Sampler Package, featuring two lift tickets to 10 distinguished resorts. Additionally, lift tickets and passes are available from renowned destinations such as Alta, Aspen, Deer Valley, Solitude, and Sundance.

Beyond equipment, the auction boasts a collection of autographed books, ski bags, and an exclusive selection of skis and boots from esteemed Hall of Fame Inductees including Denny Hanson, Jonny Moseley, Phil & Steve Mahre, and Wayne Wong. Special recognition is given to our host location, Lake Placid, New York, with an array of commemorative items celebrating the 1980 Winter Olympics.

Furthermore, we are pleased to present a selection of Opening and Closing Ceremony uniforms from past Olympic Games, generously donated by Nick Baumgartner. Fashion enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of iconic CB Sports jackets, sophisticated apparel from Mahre Brothers sponsor Delaine & Co. collection, and luxury outerwear from brands such as Head’s Lindsey Vonn Legacy Collection, Kappa’s U.S. Ski Team uniforms, M. Miller Furs, and Streamline Maria & Stein Eriksen sweaters. Among the rarest offerings, we are proud to feature a personal sweater worn by Stein Eriksen during his tenure at Boyne Mountain.

Additionally, Hall of Famer Dave Ingemie has graciously contributed one-of-a-kind artwork and specialty items from his personal collection, including exclusive pieces from past Ski Industry of America (SIA) trade shows, many of which were never available to the public.

We will be adding items as they arrive up to the last day, so make sure you check back in often. To enhance the bidding experience, participants can utilize the proxy bid feature, allowing them to set a hidden maximum bid that will automatically increase only when challenged. The anti-snipe feature ensures fair competition by extending the auction by three minutes if a bid is placed in the final moments. You can also set up bid notifications, so if you get outbid, you will be notified via text!

The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame relies on the generosity of supporters to continue preserving and celebrating the sport’s rich history. For those who may not find an item of interest but still wish to contribute, a DONATE button is available for direct contributions. Every donation, regardless of size, plays a crucial role in sustaining the Hall of Fame’s mission.

We invite you to participate in this extraordinary event and thank you for your support of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame.

Here are some examples ... take a look at all of the great items listed.

Pretty interesting selection of stuff for the auction. Not many bidders yet. For someone who knows what skis they like, could bid on new skis from several brands. Here are a few examples. The current bid for Head Kore skis is $420 for any model, any length. A pair of Peak 110 skis @168 is sitting at $300. Stöckli is offering the 2026 Montero AR (any length).

Fun way to support a valuable organizable.

Thanks Marz,
We put a lot of work into it.

We have more items coming in. Bogner kits for men and women. They were shipped to Lake placid so they will be uploaded to the auction once we get them on display(about a week from now)
Lots of vintage memorabilia.

Denny Hanson is being inducted this year so he donated several autographed items. He is an icon in the ski boot building world. There is a pair of NOS Hansen boots that he autographed standing at $500.00!!

Also, since the Divas like to travel, there are some fun lift ticket packages as well as a Snowbasin Value Pass, (which can be upgraded to full pass for the added $$ to Snowbasin)

I am trying to convince myself that I do not need that boot and stein set from the Lake Placid Olympics. Cool collector’s item!

Okay Divas! We have a new (used) item being donated to the auction that will pique the interest of the women here.
Liz Mezzitti donated two autographed bibs.
Pioneer Women's Ski Jumper - First Women's National Team.

I golfed with Liz last September. What an incredible woman she is.

There are a few good deals for items classified as Hardgoods, which includes skis. I noticed Seirus heated mittens with a current bid of $175. REI sells them for $500. Also a $1000 gift card from Rossignol currently at $600. Although if I were looking for new skis, I'd be more tempted by the Head Kore: any model, any size, must be selected by May 1, 2025, presumably flat (no bindings).

The Head Kore donation does not come with bindings.

The Mavens are 170, so limiting for who may buy them but they do come with bindings.
There were some items that were supposed to arrive on time but didn't so we may have more things to add when we arrive at Lake Placid.

The Head KORE women's technical outfit is really nice.
But if I still had my 40 year old body instead of my 58 year old body, I'd totally snag that Lindsey Vonn one piece.

The Tara Shakti outfit with pink muff/waist pack (crazy huh) comes in any size you choose. It also is listed as a onsie but it actually zips apart from the top and bottom so they can be worn separately.

I skied the Ranger 102 in a 169 but it felt like a lot at the end of the turn. That actually surprised me because the Tanger 84 in 167 is great!

We added a bunch more stuff to the auction the past two days.
Some brands that are a little out there but super fun, even some I've never heard of before.

So we have things that cover memorabilia, technical tuning, skis, and more. So much interesting stuff!

Like that Bolero (and the maple leaf tag!). Give's me an idea of something to do with my Mom's old mink stole.

Still a few lift tickets available. Notice a set of 4 day tickets to Solitude. Also a couple of tickets for Sundance.

I'm quite surpirsed that some are still waiting for bids.

The Ski Utah Lift ticket sampler has a bid.
