Visitors to the Mammoth Ski Museum can experience the newly expanded exhibit Andrea Mead Lawrence: Honoring a Legend at the Mammoth Ski Museum. In addition to photographs celebrating Andrea’s career, guests can view video interview footage courtesy of Sierra Wave, enjoy articles from The Sheet and Skiing Heritage, and read excerpts from Andrea’s autobiography A Practice of Mountains.
As “the best woman skier in the world from 1951 to 1954,” according to teammate George Macomber, Andrea competed in an impressive three consecutive Olympic Games. She earned international fame for a double-gold Olympic win in 1952 and graced the cover of Time magazine that year. The Mammoth Ski Museum celebrates this National Ski Hall-of-Famer who not only grabbed the nation’s attention as an athlete, but went on to make a difference in preserving the sacred mountain environment for future generations.
Andrea Mead Lawrence: Honoring a Legend joins 16 additional exhibits as part of the Eastern Sierra Cultural Heritage Alliance’s multi-venue project, Celebrating Women of Eastern California, which runs through September 2010. For information on participating institutions and exhibits visit ESCHAinfo.org.
