Nic Fiore: Yosemite Loses a Legend

Nic Fiore

On Tuesday, June 23rd, our friend and long-time associate, Nic Fiore, passed away.  He was 88.  Nic was loved and admired by thousands whom he taught the winter sport of skiing at Yosemite's Badger Pass.  He will forever be remembered as "The Ambassador of Yosemite."  For a retrospective of Nic's life and career, please visit this link to a Los Angeles Times story by Times' staff writer Dennis McLellan.

Said Dan Jensen, chief operating officer for DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, Inc., "Nic was one in a million and I feel privileged to have known him.  His spirit and force of personality made him an instant friend to everyone he met.  Nic was a champion for the sport of skiing and will forever be remembered as the goodwill ambassador for Yosemite.  He made countless friends of those he met throughout his career at the Badger Pass Ski Area, the High Sierra Camps and The Ahwahnee.  I am truly saddened by the news of Nic's passing and extend my deepest sympathy to his family."

Memorial services are being planned for the fall in Yosemite National Park.  For those who wish to make a donation in Nic Fiore's name, Nic's family asks that you please contact The Yosemite Fund at 800.469.7275.

Testimonials

“Today marks the day that my parents would be married for 69 years.  They married in 1940 and honeymooned in Yosemite staying in a cottage that was at the base of Yosemite Falls.  Our family’s love affair with Yosemite began with my mother’s parents coming to Yosemite for their honeymoon in 1913.  All my parent’s children have spent a part of their honeymoon in Yosemite as well, thanks to a gift from our grandmother.  Yosemite will forever be a place of grandeur, beauty and sweet memories for my family.  Though my father is not here to mark this special day in his life with my mother, we still remember that a beautiful young couple came to Yosemite 69 years ago to celebrate the beginning of their many devoted years together.  We are forever truly grateful for all that Yosemite means to our family.”
