Tiny Hagen the skier and explorer

Grand Teton

spring skiing - 1942

Tiny loved the mountains about as much as he loved drawing, painting, and sculpting.  He felt truly blessed that the Tetons were his backyard!  

Tiny moved to Jackson, Wyoming from Plummer, Minnesota in 1932 at the age of 11.  This photo was taken in 1942 when he was 21 years old.  As noted in his handwriting, this photo was taken with Herman Seherr-Thoss.

He truly embraced Jackson and all it had to offer. The mountains were always calling, just as they are to today's explorers.
