Town honors longtime local Gracie Oliphant
The town of Snowmass Village honored longtime local Gracie Oliphant at a July 6 council meeting with a proclamation of appreciation “for her historical dedication and exemplary citizenship service to the town,” the proclamation states.
Gracie and her husband Bruce came to the town in 1966 from Alaska and have since left a lasting impact on the town; Gracie founded Kinderheim, a summer and winter outdoor-focused camp for local and visiting children.
The honoree also built Gracie’s Cabin, a beloved ski-in, ski-out hub for gourmet food and community near the base of Two Creeks.
Oliphant’s honor marked the first mayoral proclamation of 2021, according to town documents.
