The newest inductees will be the late Earl A. Miller, of Miller Binding fame; Steven Nyman, a three-time World Cup winner; and Lindsey Van, an Olympian and advocate of equality in international ski jumping.
“The trio will be inducted August 28 during ceremonies at the Chateaux Deer Valley”, says Annie Bommer, Executive Director of the Alf Engen Ski Museum at Utah Olympic Park, where the hall is housed. The hall carries the name of Will and Jean Picket, two long-time ski advocates.

The 2025 inductees are:
Earl A. Miller — The designer/developer/promoter of the Miller Ski Binding and Ski Brake, which brought safety to skiing during the 1970s. He held trademarks for the platform ski pole grip and the Miller Soft powder ski, was Utah’s four-way ski champion in 1943, a member of the Brigham Young University Ski Team and later its first ski coach, and was one of the primary designers of Utah’s Timp Haven (later Sundance) Ski Area and served as its first ski school director.
Steven Nyman — Winner of gold in slalom and silver in the combined as a member of the 2002 U.S. World Junior Team; three-time World Cup winner, an 11-time World Cup podium performer, and a four-time Olympian, competing in the 2006, 2010, 2013, and 2018 Games. He was the longest tenured alpine skier on the U.S. Ski Men’s Speed Team and in 2016 set an American downhill record by finishing on the podium four consecutive times.
Lindsey Van — Her legacy rests on a tenacious and successful 15-year quest for gender equality in women’s ski jumping, a journey that saw her not only advocate tirelessly for the sport but also compete on its biggest stage at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. This pivotal moment, where women’s ski jumping made its Olympic debut, followed her historic achievement of winning the first-ever women’s ski jumping World Championship gold medal in 2009 in Liberec, Czech Republic, and a record of excellence marked by 60 FIS podium finishes and 16 national titles.
