Arnie Miller grew up near the site of the former Mounds Park Ski Slide. In the early 1960s, he and several buddies, used to build jumps and compete. One day they began talking about the Mounds Park slide. When the conversation turned into a dare, a career began which has led to years of dedicated service to the St. Paul Ski Club.

Arnie began to compete in the St. Paul Junior Ski Club tournaments and reached a level of success which instilled in him greater enthusiasm for the sport.

Arnie continued his devotion and when his sons became old enough, he carried them down the "Rabbit Ears" slide and became further involved with the kids.

He became an adviser to the junior ski club and with his sons in tow, he packed his van with junior jumpers, on a regular basis, for trips to out-of-town tournaments.

Arnie's zest for the sport never ceased. When his sons grew up and turned to other ventures in life, Arnie continued his devotion to the sport and the kids involved.

He became a director of the St. Paul Education Foundation.

Arnie has devoted his entire adult life to the activities of the St. Paul Ski Club. He is an unselfish, tireless worker. He has always been available for a ski club task in which help is needed. He is invariably on hand for tournaments throughout each ski jumping season.

In addition to driving junior ski jumpers to meets, Arnie can be seen at tournaments as a marker. He is on hand to make sure ski hills are snowed in. He has, in later years, become a judge at near every St. Paul Ski Club junior tournament.

Arnie is a ski club member who has proven to be invaluable to the success of the St. Paul Ski Club.

His constant, warm, friendly smile highlights a positive attitude that allows junior members of the club to feel welcome. His influence has gone a long way toward insuring the future success of the St. Paul Ski Club.

Arnie is the epitome of dedication to the ski jumping sport. It is this dedication that has ensured his installation into the St. Paul Ski Club Hall of Fame.
