MAX MAROLT, a member of one of Colorado's great skiing families, was a native Aspenite whose commitment to Colorado skiing spanned more than 60 years.

Racing was a natural for Max and he competed throughout his teen years. From 1954 - 1960 Max was a member of the U.S. Ski Team. He raced in the 1958 FIS championships in Austria and won a place on the 1960 Olympics team at Squaw Valley.

That same year he responded to a dare by skiing off a rocky face near the present Alyeska ski area in Alaska. That was before extreme skiing became de rigueur. The peak was later named Max's Mountain.

After the Olympics, Max turned his focus to the fledgling professional ski racing tour; then began 40 years of ski industry service by creating the west's first regional ski repair and service center in Aspen. Max's Run at Snowmass commemorates his ongoing contribution to the Aspen ski world.

Max died while skiing in Argentina in the summer of 2003. Later that year he was inducted into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame. This scholarship is offered in memory of Max by his hometown, the City of Aspen, Colorado.
