In this episode, a single narrator takes you inside Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort as ski instructor Otto Ross celebrates his 100th birthday at Hampton Lodge. The story traces Ross’ path from skiing on homemade gear as a kid to teaching his first lessons in 1950, training in Chamonix, serving on ski patrol and the 1960 Winter Olympics honor guard, and helping build Mission Ridge’s ski school when the resort opened in 1966. Along the way, it highlights the impact he had on generations of skiers—including his role in adaptive skiing—and ends with Ross’ simple perspective on longevity and what he hopes stays the same at Mission Ridge.
