Ski Museums and the History of Snowboarding

Some chip-on-my-shoulders snowboard riders don’t like to be lumped in with skiers. Even so, snowboarding is a cousin of skiing, which has a much longer history than snowboarding. A few museums around the country keep track of that history.

These museums include the New England Ski Museum, the Colorado Ski [and Snowboard!] Museum, the Mammoth Ski Museum, and the U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame, which is, can you guess? Ishpeming, Michigan.

There’s a new page on ski museums on the GraysOnTrays web site. At this point it doesn’t have much more than some commentary on the sites listed above, but there may be more in the future.
