The Hall of Fame, administered by the Alf Engen Ski Museum, recognizes achievements in competition, innovation, development, and overall promotion of snow sports in the region.

Anyone can nominate a deserving candidate for induction into the Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame. Nominees must fit into at least one of the following categories:
