Stevens Pass ski area pioneer dies at 90
CHELAN -- Virginia M. Kehr, who with her husband built the Stevens Pass ski area, is dead at age 90.
Kehr, who grew up in Cle Elum and Seattle before working as an early business manager and co-owner of the ski operation along U.S. 2, died June 17 at her home, relatives said.
She learned to ski after she and her husband, Bruce, were married in 1942, five years after he and Don Adams installed the first rope tows at Stevens Pass. The Kehrs bought out Adams and sold the ski area in 1977.
