Peter H. Olson
Dearly Beloved Father, Grandfather, and Brother.
President -Mt Baldy Ski Lifts, Inc,
July 1, 1948 ~ August 3, 2014
Pete Olson peacefully passed away on Sunday morning 8/3/2014 at home, surrounded by family. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 6 months ago. It was a shocking and painful fight but he faced it head on. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him, as well as those he encountered at the Mt Baldy Ski Lifts. Pete dedicated the last 35 years of his life to the ski lifts. He lived his life to the fullest, doing it all on his own terms. Yet, he was the most generous person whenever family or friends needed help. He never gave up his dream of opening the Backside of Baldy. Pete was known to take friends and acquaintances on a ski tour of the backside. He wanted to share his dream with everyone. These past 3 winters have been extremely hard, with little snow and income. Pete gave all he had back into the mountain. In the end he had no money but he was rich with family, friends, and a dream. Pete now enjoys all the fresh tracks Heaven has to offer.
Please help Pete's family defray some of the medical & burial cost with a donation http://www.gofundme.com/Peteolsonfoundation Thank you and don't forget to share the link.
