Vale - Hans Grimus

Published Thu 20 Sep 2018

Ski & Snowboard Australia is saddened to hear of the passing of one of our industry's most iconic personalities and pioneers, Hans Grimus.

Arriving at Mt Buller in the early 1960’s Hans spent much of his early years building and ultimately managing the lift infrastructure. In the 1970’s he developed the legendary Pension Grimus which remains an institution at Mt Buller to this day. 

Hans' son Anton represented Australia at the last two Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014 and PyeongChang 2018. Hans was a regular at SSA functions and a genuine supporter of our sport. He enjoyed life to the full and brought enjoyment to so many.

Our condolences to Lotte, Oliver, Anton, Hannes and their families.
