Hall of Fame
The Grand Traverse Ski Club began a Hall of Fame in 2008 to honor individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Grand Traverse Ski Club and to the skiing community. Nominations are accepted through October 1st each year and a committee comprised of GTSC board members and community members select 2-3 inductees to be honored. The Hall of Fame Induction takes place annually at the GTSC Annual Dinner and Fundraiser (formerly the Steak Fry).
