Indigenous trailblazer to be inducted into Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame
Ross Anderson set out to represent people of color in professional skiing. He's one of the US Ski and Board Hall Hall of Fame's 2023 inductees.
Since 2006, Ross Anderson has held the record for going faster than any other American on skis: 154.06 mph. And this year, he's finally receiving some recognition from his peers in pro skiing.
As he walked into a resort ballroom in Park City to be inducted into the US Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame, a Lakota prayer song played over the ballroom sound system. At the end of his acceptance speech, Anderson held an eagle feather over his own head and gazed at the audience. Onlookers gave him a standing ovation.
