Small corrections: the western ski trip out of Dartmouth was in the spring of 1953, and the summer of mountaineering was that summer. He was inducted into the Ski Hall of Fame in April 2009 Bill & I were classmates at Exeter & Dartmouth, did a fair amount of skiing & mountaineering together.

Bill is amazing and while at 51 I am probably too old to be inspired by him I hope my six year old, who has skied since he was 2 1/5, will be. Congratulations to Bill Briggs, we should all try and live like him. Being from the UK/France I only heard of Bill Briggs a couple of years ago when I watched the film Steep.

YOu are an awesome man! My ex-husband, Jerry Shifman and I used to attend the first Teton Tea Parties at the climbers camp in the Tetons during the 1960's. Bill used to brew up a huge wash tub of tea with some red wine and sugar added and it would keep us all night singing. Colleen Congratulations Brigger! YOu are an awesome man!
