Five Inducted to Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame

Induction to be held September 27 in Vail.

The Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame Class of 2025 includes:

Alice McKennis Duran | Athlete

Born in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Alice McKennis Duran learned to ski and race at nearby Sunlight Mountain Ski Area, then raced for major clubs in the state before joining the U.S. Ski Team as a downhill/super-G specialist. She represented the United States in two Olympics, placing fifth in downhill in 2018. She also won a World Cup downhill race in 2013 and overcame several serious injuries during her career. After retiring from competitive skiing in 2021, she has served as a coach and mentor at Ski and Snowboard Club Vail.

Wendy Fisher | Athlete

A Squaw Valley, California, native, Wendy Fisher attended Burke Mountain Academy and later joined the U.S. Ski Team, earning a spot at the 1992 Winter Olympics, where she qualified for the downhill, slalom and giant slalom. Following her time on the national team, Fisher pursued extreme skiing, winning two World Extreme Skiing Championships, a Pro Tour title, and a spot in the first X Games women’s skier-cross. Fisher has appeared in many ski films, breaking the mold and inspiring women who wanted to charge hard, compete and be featured in big-mountain ski films. Fisher has used her platform as an ambassador for the sport of skiing, representing Crested Butte Mountain Resort for more than 20 years and appearing at speaking engagements nationally.

Jon Kreamelmeyer | Sport Builder/Inspiration

Throughout his career, Colorado native Jon Kreamelmeyer has exemplified excellence in cross-country skiing, both as a coach and mentor for the many athletes and other coaches he has worked with. He was an assistant coach for Colorado's Summit High School Nordic program for nearly a decade and later the head coach of the U.S. Paralympic Ski Team. He has made a lasting impact on the sport of cross-country skiing in Summit County, the U.S. and internationally through his dedication to athletes and his continued support of skiing in the broader community.

Bob Meserve | Sport Builder

Bob Meserve, born in Gunnison and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, has accomplished much in his more than 40 years since sustaining a spinal cord injury, though one that did not diminish his love for Alpine skiing. An early pioneer in adaptive sit-skiing, he is recognized by his peers as a true leader in the Adaptive Sports and Paralympic Movements and has been inducted into the Disabled Sports USA (DSUSA) National Disabled Snow Sports Hall of Fame. Meserve was the first sit-skier allowed on Vail Mountain, won Paralympic medals, advised the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic ski committees and served for decades as winter athlete representative and then president of Disabled Sports for 12 years.

Trace Worthington | Athlete

Trace Worthington is one of the most decorated freestyle skiers in the sport, with 37 World Cup victories, 79 podium finishes, seven world titles and 11 national titles. A two-time Olympian, he pioneered the sport by becoming the first U.S. aerialist to land a quadruple-twisting triple backflip in competition. Growing up in Winter Park, Colorado, Worthington helped elevate freestyle skiing globally. He later became a frequent commentator for NBC, Red Bull TV and Fox. His legacy continues through his daughters, Sami and Izzy, who now compete on the World Cup circuit, following in their father’s tracks.
