Not yet they might just be a little brittle. I worked over at Howelsen for a few winters it’s a special place.

Rudi in Buddy Werner League.

I met his nephew in Seattle about 15yrs or so ago at Boeing in line at one of the campus cafeterias. Not a common name, so when I saw his last name on his badge (I forget his first name), I asked “hey by chance are you related to Rudi Schnackenberg” and he said “yeah, he‘s my uncle.” Small world event

Remembering a Steamboat legend: Famed ski instructor Rudi Schnackenberg would have turned 100 Monday
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Rudi Schnackenberg was many things — a skier, a coach, an instructor, a father — but he was perhaps foremost a lover of life.

I went Ice fishing with his son at Steamboat lake several years ago. Super nice guy. Ironically I take care of another Schnackenburg west of Steamboat and they aren't even related.
