Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Ted Johnson (1926 - 2018)
As the visionary and founder behind Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, Ted Johnson forever altered the recreational landscape of Utah. The one-time beach enthusiast in his native California and later a do-it-all employee at Alta Ski Area, Ted in 1965 put his foresight and fortitude into a dream of establishing a resort with the purchase of the Blackjack mining claims, the catalyst to an 800-acre parcel abutting Wasatch National Forest lands in storied Little Cottonwood Canyon.
After persevering through five years of study and setbacks, heartbreak and breakthroughs, and orchestrating the construction of a canyon-long sewer line, Snowbird welcomed its first skiers in 1971. The resort's environment-embracing sod-covered roofs, internationally-acclaimed ski runs, hotels and cuisine, and a skier/boarder/tourist conveyance system that includes a 120-passenger tram and a skier tunnel, stand as a legacy to the wily "Silver Fox," an entrepreneur whose quest was not to be denied.
Ted was inducted into the Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame in 2007. The above biograpical note is from that event.
