ISHPEMING, Mich. (AP) — Olympic bronze medalist Toby Dawson and five others have been inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.

Dawson was adopted from an orphanage in South Korea by two ski instructors from Vail and went on to win the bronze in freestyle moguls at the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Others inducted over the weekend were freestyle pioneer and world champion John Clendenin, freestyle aerials champion Kris Feddersen, ski film producer Joe Jay Jalbert, big mountain skier Scot Schmidt and ski show pioneer Jerry Simon.

There are 394 athletes and sports builders in the USSA Hall of Fame.
