His daughter grew up without him, wondering why and where he had gone.
Gaida’s mother, who died in 1994, “wouldn’t share anything,” she said. “It was a difficult time for us, as mother and daughter. She kept it so private.”
The identification of her father has catapulted Gaida anew into a flurry of searching through old photos, news clippings and letters, trying to make sense. Smith had invented a ski pole grip and double-glass “Twindow” ski goggles of the sort now widely used, and Gaida last week found correspondence showing how he had tried to market these with major gear companies. “He just couldn’t get to that next step.”
She plans to cremate the remains ahead of a ceremony at Boreal. “It will be good for him to have his ashes scattered and be with his parents where he first fell in love with skiing,” she said.
