Celebrities On Snow

[Okemo Mountain]

It seems like ski areas and celebrities go together pretty well. How many of you guys have ever come across a celeb while out on the hill?

This season at Okemo, we've had the pleasure of not only hosting but also filming & interviewing a handful of celebrities, including actor Jason Biggs (American Pie) and Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. You can check out the videos on YouTube by clicking the links below:

I almost ran over that fighter-pilot guy, Terry, that won Survivor at Pat's Peak.


He didn't win "Survivorat's Peak" He was at Pat's after winning on Survivor.

Never pictured Dee as a skier, but that's cool.

Never seen a celeb on the slopes. I don't think we have too many of them flocking to New Hartford. :lol:

Dee is a really cool guy. A lot more down-to-Earth than the "persona"

I used to be one of the Peeps when he had his show on 104

 

[WWF-VT]

Who considers Dee Snider and Jason Biggs celebrities.....?

I used to be one of the Peeps when he had his show on 104

I always listened to the show too, I was really pissed off when they took him off... Still wouldn't picture him as a skier though...

My boss skied into Robert Redford at Butternut. Literally. Knocked him right on his tush...

 

[Paul]

Doesn't Redford have like a billion acres of mountains in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado....


WTF was he doing at Buttercup?

 

[TheBEast]

I just gotta say, "what is it with Rock Stars and their wives?" Man Dee's wife is smokin'!! Damn.

Oh to be a rock star.......

He owns Sundance in Utah.

I rode a chair with who I'm pretty sure was Ivana Trump and a male friend of hers sometime in the early-to-mid 90's on a weekday at Hunter. She came off the summit quad and kicked-ass down The Cliff-left me in her vapors as I tried to keep up with them.

If only I had kept listing states, this blind squirrel may have found the nut. :smile:

I imagine Ivana grew-up skiing the Alps. Not surprised she would be a hella good skier.

Not sure where she's from....she's Slavic of some variety, I think.
Wasn't too hard to look at in her one-piece either.

 

[SIKSKIER]

Here's a big one.Weatherguy Tim Kelly from NECN at Cannon along with fellow wetherman Joe Joyce.Beat that.

She was on the 1968 Czech Olympic ski team. I believe she used to frequent Jay Peak a lot as well in the 70's and 80's.

Christie Brinkley was at Sundown a few weeks back. My wife waited on her in the Welcome Center. Unforunately, I was not there to meet her.

 

[snowywinter]

I saw Arnold in Sun Valley.

Uma Thurman skis regularry at Hunter - she even got one of the instructors fired !! Ethan Hawk snowboards there.

JFK Jr. was a regular at Hunter back in the day.

Saw Tony Danza in a race at Deer Valley - he is terrible. In the same race was one of Maher brothers, Billy the kid, and some other has beens.

Seriously? What the heck was she doing there?

She was there with her daughter and they celebrated her daughters birthday. She was there on a Saturday and also came back the next day.
