Ski For Light: 50th Anniversary

For 50 years, Ski for Light has taught cross country skiing to thousands of visually- and mobility-
impaired persons. The Norwegian concept was brought to the United States by Olav Pederson,
patterning it after Norway’s Ridderrennet, begun by Erling Stordahl. Today, Ski for Light is going
strong, having established an international event, regionals and warm weather programming.
The Norwegian community can take pride in giving Ski for Light its kickstart, and with all those
who came thereafter , including guides, skiers and volunteers, have created a program that
serves as a partnership between them all. It’s time to celebrate everyone’s efforts. Join the
festivities for a delicious meal friendship, music and a multi-media presentation highlighting Ski
for Light’s history and accomplishments.
