The "Ski for Light, Art for Sight" sculpture by William Barth Osmundsen depicts two figures, a woman and a man, with a sighted cross-country skier leading a visually impaired skier. In 1963, blind musician Erling Stordahl, with the support of King Olav, introduced cross-country skiing to a group of blind people in the mountains of Norway. Skiing then enriched the lives of thousands of disabled people around the world. In 1975, Ski for Light, based on the Norwegian experience, was held in Frisco in Summit County, Colorado, and it was incorporated and became an annual event held throughout the United States. Ski for Light is a nonprofit organization founded to promote the physical fitness of visually and mobility impaired adults, bringing disabled and able-bodied people together in one-on-one partnerships to learn from each other through physically demanding activities. Breckenridge resident Olav Pedersen, a native Norwegian, became known as the father of the American Ski for Light, and this work was dedicated to him and his efforts with the international organization.
