The Alf Engen Ski Museum located inside the Utah Olympic Park unveiled a new exhibit Wednesday honoring the legendary Stein Eriksen.
The new exhibit consists of artifacts loaned to the museum by Eriksen's son Bjorn. It was made possible by the Stein Eriksen Lodge and Deer Valley Resort, were the late ski great served as director of skiing from 1981 until his death.
Eriksen passed away December 27, 2015, at his Park City home at the age of 88.
"Stein Eriksen has been synonymous with skiing style and elegance for more than half a century," said David Vandehei, chairman of the Alf Engen Ski Museum board of directors. "The first alpine skier to win triple gold at a world championship, an Olympic Gold Medalist and ambassador and father of freestyle skiing, Eriksen parlayed all that he knew and loved about the sport into an incredible career that spanned almost six decades and changed the face of alpine skiing worldwide. We are honored to feature him at the museum."
