Theirs are stories of courage and determination, of inspiration and dedication, of staring down adversity and winning. Their stories are of history-making proportions.

Enter the 2006 Ski Affair, brought to you by the Ski Archives of the University of Utah J. Willard Marriott Library and some 600 nostalgic-bent ski enthusiasts from throughout the Intermountain Area. The 2006 Ski Affair will honor nine of the region’s elite ski/snowboard/mono-ski/sit-ski athletes and their recent history-making, medal-winning exploits on the World Cup circuit and at the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games of 2006. The festive gathering marks the 17th annual event whose proceeds are earmarked for locating, preserving, cataloguing and making available to the public important documents, photos, films/videos, oral histories, records, scrapbooks and files on skiing in the Intermountain Area.

Edgar Stern’s purchase of 7,000 acres of land in 1968 in Park City, Utah, including Treasure Mountain Resort (now Park City Mountain Resort), was the catalyst for the establishment of his dream resort: Deer Valley, which opened December 26, 1981. His extraordinary vision was to build a resort that offered visitors a quality experience rarely found anywhere in the industry. Mission accomplished! In 2002, Ski Magazine rated Deer Valley the “Number One” overall ski resort in North America. It perennially receives similar accolades from a grateful ski community, including worldwide exposure during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games when it was the venue for slalom, aerials and moguls competitions. Deer Valley also hosted FIS Freestyle World Cup competitors in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Edgar’s influence and generosity reaches beyond Deer Valley and includes Ballet West, the National Ability Center, Salt Lake Art Center, Utah Special Olympics, Utah Open Lands, Kimball Art Center, Guadalupe Schools, People’s Health Clinic and the Salt Lake Symphony.
