Klaus Obermeyer founded Sport Obermeyer in 1947. His enthusiasm is contagious, his energy seemingly endless and his optimism without bounds. Klaus leads by example skiing most days of the season, "The days you don't ski, they don't come back". He also continues to work at the office every day, play tennis in the summer and swim a half mile a day. The company continues to thrive in Aspen today. See what Klaus's favorite things to do in Summer and Winter are! Klaus's 5 favorite things to do in the summer: 1. Klaus enjoys playing tennis in the Summer and plays daily at the Smuggler Raquet Club. With a variety of courts the Smuggler Raquet Club has a tremendous view of Aspen Mountain and is slightly off the beaten path from town near Hunter Creek. For information call (970) 925-8216 2. Klaus is an avid swimmer, swimming laps at the Aspen Meadow's pool is a daily routine for Klaus during the Summer. 3. When not Windsurfing in Maui, Klaus will head up to Ruedi Reservoir in Basalt, CO. About 30 minutes up the frying pan river, Ruedi Reservoir is a great spot for boating, fishing, and windsurfing.
