Description: Up for auction is a vintage,original,"Yosemite Ski School", ski pin. The history of winter sports in Yosemite National Park is unique. Following the building of the Ahwahnee Hotel in 1925–1927, came Yosemite's first ski school in 1928 with Jules Fritsch as instructor. Fritsch, a Swiss ski expert was part of a trained staff of winter sports experts available in Yosemite. A lift was built in 1933 but it was not at the Ahwahnee but at Badger Pass some miles away. The first slalom in California was held in 1933 at Badger Pass. Due to a naming rights dispute in which outgoing concessionaire Delaware North Parks and Resorts claims to own the names of several Yosemite locations as intellectual property, Badger Pass was renamed "Yosemite Ski & Snowboard Area" effective March 1, 2016. If you have any questions, please ask! Visit my store for more amazing vintage ski patches, ski pins, ski tickets and ski brochures.
