TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Connie Nelson, executive director of the Alf Engen Ski Museum, will receive the International Skiing History Association’s 2019 lifetime achievement award on April 4 during Skiing History Week. Connie Nelson’s honor coincides with Skiing History Week SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Connie Nelson was visiting her mother in Australia when she heard the International Skiing History Association planned to give her a lifetime achievement award. Nelson is set to receive the honor for her work curating the Alf Engen Ski Museum as its executive director. The award, which the group established in 1993, recognizes those who have made significant contributions to ski history through journalism, photography, film, radio or TV, according to the association.“It was fun to share the news with my mom, because moms are happy when their children get awards,” Nelson said with a chuckle. “I’ve never received an award, so this is a real honor. It’s very humbling.” The ISHA will give Nelson the award during a banquet and ceremony on Thursday, April 4, at the Alf Engen Ski Museum at the Utah Olympic Park. The banquet is part of the Ski History Week. (See accompanying schedule on C-4). ISHA works with the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame and Museum on the event, and they hold it in different places like Squaw Valley, California and Steamboat Springs, Colorado, according to Nelson. ISHA knew about Nelson’s work with the Utah Olympic Park-based institution, which includes the 2002 Olympic Museum, because she was once a board member. TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Connie Nelson gets ready to examine one of the 10,000 skiing history artifacts that are stored in the Alf Engen Skiing Museum’s archive room. “I think that’s how they got familiar with what we do here,” she said. Nelson’s road to the Alf Engen Ski Museum started in Butte, Montana. “I was born there, and I learned how to ski at Red Lodge, Bridger Bowl and Big Sky,” she said. “I lived mostly in Billings, and would catch the bus to get to the slopes.” Nelson and her mother, a university professor, moved to Perth, Australia, when she was a teen. “I would go surfing out there, and then come back to Montana to ski,” Nelson said. Nelson earned a teaching degree in Australia and started her teaching career in a primarily Aboriginal school in the outback before teaching at other Perth schools. 435.575.4272 1571 W REDSTONE DR SUSHIBLUEPARKCITY.COM Please see Nelson, C-4 “I went back to get my master’s degree in sports administration at Western Australia University, and went on to work at the Australian Sports Commission,” she said.
