But when they joined forces, they formed one of the most accomplished partnerships in ski mountaineering history. They claimed multiple first descents on mountains across the Himalayas, including the first ski descent of the Lhotse Couloir from the summit in 2018. That expedition earned them the title of National Geographic Adventurers of the Year. After Nelson died in a tragedy during an expedition on Manaslu in 2022, Morrison kept pushing to reach both of their dreams. He completed the first ski descent of Great Trango Tower in Pakistan in 2024. A year later, he became the first to descend Everest\u2019s direct North Face via the Hornbein and Japanese Couloirs on skis.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_428871\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-428871\" style=\"width: 833px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-428871 lazyload\" src=\"image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAoAAAAE2AQMAAADLeLGVAAAABlBMVEUAAAD\/\/\/+l2Z\/dAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAC9JREFUeNrtwTEBAAAAwqD1T20JT6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD4G2IWAAGlSKo5AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"Jim Morrison Hilaree Nelson\" width=\"640\" height=\"310\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jim-Morrison-Hilaree-Nelson-PP-enhanced-1536x743-1.png?resize=640%2C310&amp;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jim-Morrison-Hilaree-Nelson-PP-enhanced-1536x743-1.png?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jim-Morrison-Hilaree-Nelson-PP-enhanced-1536x743-1.png?resize=300%2C145&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jim-Morrison-Hilaree-Nelson-PP-enhanced-1536x743-1.png?resize=1200%2C580&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jim-Morrison-Hilaree-Nelson-PP-enhanced-1536x743-1.png?resize=768%2C372&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jim-Morrison-Hilaree-Nelson-PP-enhanced-1536x743-1.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" data-max-width=\"640\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"640\" data-eio-rheight=\"310\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\" wp-image-428871\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jim-Morrison-Hilaree-Nelson-PP-enhanced-1536x743-1.png?resize=640%2C310&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jim Morrison Hilaree Nelson\" width=\"640\" height=\"310\" data-eio=\"l\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-428871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson. | Credit: U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px auto;text-align: center;display: block;clear: both\">\n<!-- GAM 71161633\/SNWBR_snowbrains\/article_hrec_2 --><\/p>\n<div data-fuse=\"article_hrec_2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related:\u00a0 <em><a href=\"https:\/\/snowbrains.com\/video-first-look-jim-morrison-completes-historic-descent-of-everest-north-face-national-geographic\/\">[VIDEO] First Look: Jim Morrison Completes Historic Descent of Everest North Face | National Geographic<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>David Holli<\/h2>\n<p><strong>David Holli\u2019s work for skiing and snowboarding came within the Hall of Fame itself. <\/strong>He joined the Hall\u2019s Board of Directors in the late 1970s, and also served as the local conduit to national organizations like the US Ski Team, SIA, and NSAA.

Following his alpine skiing career (in which he became the 1963 Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association and North American Alpine Champion), he moved into building a business. Vaughan Jr. launched CB Sports in Bennington, Vermont, in 1969 with one signature product: the Super Pant, which kept athletes warm and could be quickly removed for racing. He first began selling the pants out of his car, but he quickly scaled the company into a dominant sportswear powerhouse, reaching $45 million in annual sales in 1985.
