April 3rd - Sun Valley Idaho - Skiing Icon and Elan Team member, Glen Plake, was inducted into The US Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame. Plake joins a select group of people who have been most influential to the US Ski Industry.
As the Hall of Fame put it:
With his signature multi-colored Mohawk hairstyle and his unrelenting enthusiasm for skiing, Glen Plake is certainly the best-known and recognizable skier in the world. The three time World Hot Dog skiing champion has become the symbol of the fun, joy and spirit of skiing. His outstanding ability on skis and personality have made him a skiing film star and many of the films that he has appeared in are now classics in the industry including “The Blizzard of Aahhh’s” “Fistful of Moguls”, “License to Thrill”, “The Edge of Never, and this year. “Legend of Aahhh’s.” His television, and magazine appearances as well as commentary work is seemingly endless. He continues to promote skiing at all levels from his high altitude expeditions around the world to his “Down Home Tour” where Glen and his wife Kimberly ski at local areas around the United States.
