Hugh Nevins
Hugh, a former Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, has enriched the lives of thousands of blind people. In 1975, Hugh developed the non-profit Colorado Ski School for the Blind. He developed the vital blind skiing technique that has sustained the program ever since. His skiers range from ages 4 to 72. Starting with only three children, by 1985 his enrollment grew to nearly 500 and by 1987, he was teaching over 1,000 people annually.
