Each year Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum presents The Vermont Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame™ which honors athletes, pioneers and special contributors of Vermont skiing and snowboarding who promoted and/or contributed to the sport of skiing or riding in Vermont. Their accomplishments are recognized at an Induction Ceremony and their histories are documented in the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum’s collection as part of the permanent Vermont Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame exhibit.

The Hall of Fame Committee looks at candidates in three categories: Athletes, Pioneers, and Special Contributors. Both the committee and the categories were approved by the Board of Directors.

Marty Hall

Marty Hall (1937-2025) was a trailblazer in North American cross-country skiing whose visionary leadership helped shape the sport into what it is today. Though his coaching took him across borders and national teams, Hall’s influence was deeply felt in Vermont, where generations of skiers benefited from his mentorship, advocacy, and innovation.

A gifted athlete himself, Hall's athletic journey began at the University of New Hampshire, where he excelled as a multi-sport athlete in skiing, football, and track. He captained the ski team, earned the Skimeister silver medal at the NCAA Championships, and later competed on the U.S. National Biathlon Team.

In the early 1970’s, Hall played a pivotal role in shaping American cross-country skiing, particularly through his work with standout Vermont athletes. As the Women’s Nordic Coach for the U.S. Ski Team in 1970, he coached Martha Rockwell, one of Vermont’s most promising skiers, at both the 1970 World Championships and the 1972 Olympics. His innovative and demanding training approach was instrumental in Rockwell’s development, culminating in her 10th place finish in the 10k at the 1974 World Championships, an exceptional result for the U.S. at the time. In 1973, Hall became the first full-time cross-country ski coach for the U.S. Ski Team and laid the foundation for future American success on the international stage. His rigorous training systems and progressive race strategies elevated athletes like Vermont’s Bill Koch, who earned a silver medal at the 1976 Olympics, the first ever Olympic medal for the U.S. in cross-country skiing. Hall’s commitment to cultivating talent from Vermont and across New England helped establish the region as a powerhouse in the sport’s growth and development.

Later, Hall brought the same transformative leadership to the Canadian national team, broadening his legacy across North America. He also played a crucial role in advancing women’s cross-country skiing and in modernizing race formats, grooming techniques, and ski trail infrastructure.

Even after stepping back from international coaching, Hall remained active in New England skiing circles, offering guidance to emerging coaches, supporting youth programs, and writing passionately about the sport's future. His presence helped solidify Vermont’s reputation as a cradle for elite Nordic skiing.

In 2017, Hall was inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame and in 2018 he was inducted into the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame; a tribute to decades of dedication and to the generations of athletes he inspired along the way.

Ned Hamilton

A native Vermonter, Ned Hamilton has spent a lifetime shaping the landscape of skiing in his home state and beyond. In Montpelier in 1958, inspired by a request from a local women’s college, he launched a ski department in the basement of his men’s clothing store, The Oxford Shop, giving rise to the first Peter Glenn Ski Shop. What began as a modest venture quickly grew into a regional force, with stores and franchises established in key Vermont ski towns including Stowe, Waitsfield, Bolton Valley, Burke, Norwich, St. Albans, and St. Johnsbury.

Ned’s deep understanding of the skiing community and local markets allowed him to cultivate a trusted brand that served both residents and tourists. After surviving a pulmonary embolism, he reimagined the business and opened shops in Florida, recognizing the demand for ski gear among snowbirds and vacationers. Renamed Peter Glenn of Vermont, the business brought authentic Vermont snowsports culture to Southern audiences, while proudly preserving its Green Mountain identity.

His entrepreneurial vision also had national impact. Ned founded the Consolidated Buying Group, an initiative that empowered independent ski shops, many within The Sports Authority network, to thrive in the face of growing corporate competition. This effort helped maintain the unique character and expertise of local ski retailers across the country.

In 1998, Ned made a pivotal move to preserve Vermont’s ski heritage by purchasing the bankrupt Bolton Valley resort, ensuring the continued operation of a cherished, family-friendly ski area. He also supported the state’s outdoor economy as a sales representative for several Vermont-based equipment brands.

Honored with multiple Retailer of the Year awards, recognized by SKI Magazine as a Top Shop, a member of the National Sporting Goods Association Hall of Fame, and the recipient of Snowsports Industries America Lifetime Achievement Award, Ned’s contributions to the ski industry are as enduring as the Vermont winters he grew up with. Though he winters in Florida, he returns each summer to Joe’s Pond, his childhood retreat and lifelong anchor to the Vermont community.

Ned humbly recognizes that any accomplishments he received credit for were only possible with his family by his side, his wife Carolyn, son Peter Glenn Hamilton, daughter Lori Hamilton Underwood, son-in-law Martin Underwood, and the entire Peter Glenn team.

Harry “Rebel” Ryan

Vermonter, Harry “Rebel” Ryan made national headlines in 1964 winning all three events at the Junior Eastern Championships in Sugarloaf, Maine. Days later, he astonished the ski world at a post-Olympic race in Stowe, Vermont, where he placed second to Olympic silver medalist Billy Kidd in the giant slalom, besting the 1964 Olympic Team and a field of elite skiers capturing national media attention. He followed up with wins in the downhill and giant slalom and a second in the slalom at the U.S. Junior Nationals and was honored with a city-wide celebration on "Rebel Ryan Day" in his hometown of Rutland.

Ryan went on to compete internationally with the U.S. Ski Team under coaches Bob Beattie and Gordi Eaton, skiing in the prestigious Hahnenkamm downhill in Kitzbühel, Austria, the Lauberhornin in Wengen, Switzerland, winning the Ryan Cup at Mount Tremblant, earning podium finishes in Bormio, Italy, and Adelboden, Switzerland. He was named to the 1968 U.S. Olympic Alpine Ski Team but was sidelined by injury before competition. He also raced for the University of Colorado and the U.S. Army before completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Vermont and earning his J.D. from Boston College Law School.

Before joining the University of Colorado ski team in 1964, Ryan was a competitive water skier competing in the U.S. Nationals in Austin, TX, Calaway Gardens, GA, (finishing second in the slalom) and Long Beach, CA, as well the Masters Tournament at Calaway Gardens, GA.

Following his alpine racing career, Ryan remained deeply involved in the ski world. He co-founded the Pico Ski Education Foundation, the Killington Mountain Foundation, has served as a Trustee of the Killington Mountain School for over thirty years, and the Board of Directors of The Heuga Center for Multiple Sclerosis. Professionally, Ryan built a successful legal career with a focus on civil litigation and ski industry representation. Ryan has provided legal counsel to ski areas, manufacturers, ski academies, and individuals involved in the sport. Mr. Ryan has received Martindale-Hubbell's highest "AV" Preeminent rating, is listed in "Best Lawyers® in America," Super Lawyers, and in VT Business Magazine as a Vermont Top Lawyer.

Ryan is married to Jane O’Neill, also a lawyer. They have three children, Dan, Jim, and Kristie, who all grew up on the slopes. Jim and Kristie, looking for bigger mountains, now live in Jackson, WY.

In recognition of his lifetime contributions to Vermont skiing, Ryan was inducted into the Vermont Alpine Racing Association (VARA) Hall of Fame in 2013. His legacy lives on not only in the record books but in the programs, institutions, and athletes he continues to support.

Hannah Teter

Hannah Teter is an Olympic gold and silver medalist, world champion snowboarder, and philanthropist whose story is deeply rooted in the mountains of Vermont. Born and raised in the small town of Belmont, Teter grew up in a snowboarding family as the youngest of five siblings. She took her first lesson at Okemo Mountain and trained at Okemo Mountain School, launching a career that would take her to the top of the international snowboarding world.

Teter burst onto the scene as a teenager, winning the World Junior Halfpipe Championship at age 15 and quickly becoming the youngest member of the U.S. Snowboarding Team. She went on to earn gold in the halfpipe at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino and silver in Vancouver in 2010, with a strong fourth-place finish in Sochi in 2014. Her career also includes seven X Games medals, six World Cup victories, bronze at the 2005 FIS World Championships, 2006 ESPY Award for Best Female Action Sports Athlete, first place at the 2009 Australian Open, and second place at the 2011 New Zealand Open.

Despite her global fame, Teter has always stayed connected to her Vermont roots. In 2008, she launched Hannah’s Gold, a nonprofit that raises money through the sale of Vermont maple syrup from her family’s trees to support clean water and education projects in Kirindon, Kenya. She later created Sweet Cheeks, a line of charitable underwear that donates a portion of proceeds to children living in extreme poverty. A longtime ambassador for Special Olympics, she helped bring Unified Snowboarding to the X Games in 2015, pairing Special Olympics athletes with professional riders to promote inclusion in sports.

Now based in South Lake Tahoe, California, Teter continues to inspire through her advocacy, athletic legacy, and unshakable dedication to making a difference.
