In Memory

Bela Vadasz (1953-2015)
American Mountain Guide (AMGA/IFMGA)
In 2008 Bela was awarded the AMGA Lifetime Achievement Award. Bela was instrumental in developing the AMGA Ski Discipline – he was a leader and visionary in the American ski-mountaineering world and in the AMGA. He is dearly missed within the AMGA community.
