Eddy Ancinas

Eddy first skied at Badger Pass in Yosemite in the 1940s, then Sugar Bowl and on to Squaw Valley (now Palisades Tahoe_ when it opened in 1948. She was a guide for the International Olympic Committee at the 1960 Olympics, where she met her husband, a member of the Argentine Olympic Team. They moved to Tahoe City in 1962 and raised their family in Alpine Meadows, where they owned/operated Casa Andina Ski shops. A travel and ski history writer, Eddy has published articles in Ski History Magazine and the Atlantic, and she is the author of the award-winning book: "Tales from Two Valleys ~ Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows" (TalesfromTwoValleysBook.com). As vice-president of the SNOW Sports Museum Board, she hopes our unique ski and snow sports history will live on in the future SNOW Museum.
