Conrad Emil-Snow Klefos

August 31, 1953 - June 3, 2023

With great sorrow, we announce that Conrad Emil-Snow Klefos died unexpectedly from complications from lymphoma on Saturday, June 3, 2023 in University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, Vermont.  He was 69 years old.

A native of Rochester, New Hampshire, Conrad spent his early childhood in Palm Beach, Florida before moving to Hanover, New Hampshire.  Charmed summers were spent at the family camp on Springfield Point in Wolfeboro on Lake Winnipesaukee.  Conrad attended the University of New Hampshire where he was a member of the UNH ski team, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in parks and recreation.

Having retired back to Newport, Vermont in 2019, Conrad was active in the three sports he cherished most- fishing, hunting and skiing.  Prior to this, his career was in the ski industry.  After initial jobs at Hunter Mountain in New York and Smuggler's Notch in Vermont, Conrad was VP - Director of Marketing & Sales for Jay Peak Resort in Vermont from 1980 to 2000.  He was then associate publisher of Quebec's Ski Press Magazine before moving to Maine in 2009 to assume marketing positions for Saddleback Ski Resort and Maine Huts & Trails. Conrad also served on various boards of directors including Jay(VT) Chamber of Commerce and Vermont Ski Area Association.

He is survived by his loving wife and best friend Lisa; his brothers Erik and wife Dawn, Knute and wife Joan, Brede and wife Jessica, his sister Susan, and several nephews and nieces.  He was predeceased by his brother Kristofer.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society.  There will be a celebration of life on the summit of Jay Peak Resort on what would have been Conrad's 70th birthday on Thursday, August 31, 2023 at 10am.  A light lunch will follow.  All are welcome.
