The cross country skiing world is saddened to learn of the recent passing of Marty Hall the most iconic figure in the growth of U.S. and Canadian skiing. Marty had a great local connection with our area’s skiing history . He redesigned the trails at Telemark Lodge in Wisconsin for Tony Wise to make them wider, easier to groom, faster and more exciting and teamed with Sven Wiik to perform similar work on the fabled American Birkebeiner.
I feel fortunate in my time in our area that I met Marty Hall and witnessed his dynamic, tireless and selfless love of cross country skiing.
Condolences to Kathy and all who called Marty friend. Rest in Peace.
