My Fifty Things

I don't know if this will count because they are not quite completely discrete Items but I am going to use all of the US Ski Team Alpine medal winners as well as the year and location they won the medal.  I picked this set of items because of my mother is apart of the list and because I grew up idolizing these ski racers and even had many opportunities to meet them.  I have a signed poster in my room with almost every single one of their signatures and have some great memories of some of the personalities.  Every year my family and I would go to either Vail, CO or Jackson Hole, WY for the annual ski team reunion and charity race and I remember as a Bright eyed and bushy tailed grommit ski racer getting to shake the hands of many of these Racing Icons.

Heres the list, it comes out to about 53 items.
