Sandra Heath - Bogner model, fashion collector

Sandra Curtis Heath, 90, of Stowe, Vermont, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, Oct. 9, in the care of her niece, Melissa Heath.

Sandra grew up at Stowe’s historic Edson Hill Manor, owned by her family, with its wonderful cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails. She graduated from Colby College and returned to Stowe. In the 1950s she found work as a fashion model, notably for Bogner Skiwear. She traveled internationally, appearing in fashion shows and ski films during the sport’s boom years.  

Heath served on the board of the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum, helping support the preservation of the sport’s heritage. She collected vintage ski clothing and developed fashion presentations called “Vintage Visions,” bringing historic ski apparel back into the spotlight. She donated key items for museum exhibits.
