2021 Ski & Snowboard Club Vail Annual Report by Michael Suleiman

A Letter From

Executive Director John Hale Dear Ski & Snowboard Club Vail Community, 2020-2021 was a year like no other within which we were all rigorously tested by a common enemy. With parents, athletes, and staff working alongside each other as a community, SSCV admirably rose to the challenge of a global pandemic. I am immensely proud that instead of defeating us, the year alternatively brought out the best of our community. SSCV Strong! Our motto - FOR THE KIDS - truly evolved as all aspects of day-today operations adjusted to meet the COVID-19 protocols prescribed by health and government officials and the snowsports community. Our core values (the 3Cs) also took on enhanced meaning. Each individual displayed CHARACTER and developed grit as we all masked up and families performed daily symptom checks and followed quarantine protocols. Athletes showed COURAGE and achieved teamwork as they grew and learned through connecting with peers and coaches and supporting each other during this otherwise isolating time. Coaches exhibited COMMITMENT to the pursuit of excellence for each athlete and their family by minimizing and monitoring athletes’ exposure risks and taking hot chocolate breaks outside in the cold with young athletes to warm them up. 2

A Letter From

Executive Director John Hale These collective efforts delivered life lessons to all of us that we will not soon forget. 2020-2021 laid the foundation for SSCV’s continued commitment to providing the safest possible environment FOR THE KIDS throughout the 2021-2022 season. As we continue to learn together through our collective experience to navigate these unprecedented times smoothly, I am confident that our community will continue to rise to the occasion and move forward with fortitude. Looking ahead, I am thrilled to build upon the Club’s strong foundation as its new executive director. Thirty years of experience in snowsports and athletics, including the last four as SSCV Chief Operating Officer and working alongside Kirk Dwyer, have helped me prepare for the next chapter at SSCV. I am honored and grateful to be part of a community blessed with an experienced and hardworking staff - unrivaled in snowsports, talented aspiring young athletes, and highly committed parents. I look forward to all of the exciting opportunities and new beginnings that the 2021-2022 season holds FOR THE KIDS. Sincerely,

John Hale Executive Director Ski & Snowboard Club Vail

Alpine The podium counts and medal tallies listed below are impressive and show the culmination of a season full of obstacles. However, more importantly the reflections quoted below show common themes of resilience, adaptability and striving for personal bests. Not only are these traits required to make it through a season disrupted by a global pandemic, but these are traits common to long term success in sport and life. Overcoming this challenging time required unwavering determination to simply find a way. The athletes, parents and coaches are to be commended for their ability to turn an uncertain situation into a tremendous success for the athletes.

“This past season was like no other. The sport of alpine ski racing was forced to look closely at practices long held sacred. In many instances we learned that there is a better way. I look forward to contributing to the ongoing success of SSCV’s alpine program as we move forward with the sport’s collective newfound vigor. Congratulations to the athletes, parents, coaches and everyone involved for making this past season a tremendous success in the face of such adversity.” - Brad Wall, SSCV Alpine Program Director

Alpine

Alpine FIS Men: "The FIS program is the final step in a long journey through SSCV. The athletes become much more independent at this stage, and work together as a team to reach not only their athletic goals, but to build strong personal habits that will serve them well beyond the ski hill." - Ian Lochhead, SSCV FIS Men’s Alpine Head Coach

FIS Men Results Highlights: 7 FIS Wins 1 top 5 World FIS discipline age ranking 12 top 10 USA FIS discipline age rankings

Alpine

Alpine FIS Women: “Last year all athletes consistently impressed me during a year that required much adaptability. They each showed up to every day with purpose and strove to improve day in and day out. They all should be very proud of themselves.” - Andrew Keating, SSCV FIS Women’s Alpine Head Coach

FIS Women Results Highlights: 10 FIS wins 19 podiums 24 top 10 USA age ranks 1 top 5 World Age rank 1 top 10 World Age rank 1 top 15 World age rank 5 top 30 world age ranks 29

Alpine Alpine U16 Men: “To say we were fortunate to have a ski season would be an understatement. The community pulled in the same direction and because of that effort, we had a tremendously successful season. We had the benefit of extra training, both in volume and variety due to the COVID calendar, and we definitely didn’t miss that opportunity to capitalize.” - Ian Dunlop, SSCV Men’s Alpine U16 Head Coach U16 Men Results Highlights: 6 out of the top 10 in RC Championships Giant Slalom SYNC Overall Winner SSCV had more U16 men qualified to U16 US Nationals than any other club in the region (cancelled due to COVID pandemic) SSCV had the top ranked male athlete nationally in giant slalom for both 2005's and 2006's

Alpine

Alpine U16 Women Performance:

“The U16 women's performance team had a remarkable year. There were fewer competitions than in a typical season, and sadly we lost our U16 national championships to COVID, but in the competitions that were held this group truly shined. Beyond their accomplishments on the hill, this group defined itself as a team motivated by the common goal of finding personal excellence.” - Adam Chadbourne, SSCV Women’s Alpine U16 Performance Head Coach

Alpine

U16 Women Performance Results Highlights: In the season-long Sync Cup standings (the primary competition/qualification series for all U16 athletes in the Rocky Mountain Division), SSCV U16 Women's Performance Team athletes took 4 of the top 5 places, finishing 1, 2, 3 and 5 without competing in downhill. At the Rocky/Central Championships in Steamboat Springs the 9 athletes representing the SSCV U16 Women's Performance Team peppered the podium in all events in which they competed. In the GS, all 9 girls from this one group landed in the top 17 against all comers from the Rocky/Central region. That performance in particular was a truly impressive display of strength and depth.

Alpine

U16 Women's Core: "The U16 Women's Core team was young and ambitious this season. Ski and Snowboard Club Vail has tremendous depth, so I do not want the talent of this group to be overlooked. Their results stand up to many teams across the region. I would expect to see great things from these ladies in the future. The passion for ski racing is alive and loud and this team showed that through their work and enthusiasm." - Lisa Perricone, SSCV Women's Alpine U16 Core Head Coach

Alpine

U16 Women Core Results Highlights: RMD Championships in Crested Butte Out of the four Core athletes in this championship race (SL, GS, and SG), SSCV girls earned 8 top 15 results. Six of those were top 10's and two were podium positions. SYNC Championships in Vail With a stacked field, athletes from around the region and top U14 athletes skiing up, SSCV Core ladies earned 8 top 30 finishes, five of which were in the top 20. These were incredible results for this group to end the championship season.

Alpine Alpine

U14 Full-Time: "In addition to our 13 podiums at the U14 RMD Divisional Championships, SSCV U14's stood out in character as they supported each other in success and failure, had fun as a team, and learned the attitude that winners exhibit! The U14 Coaching staff is very proud of this 2020/2021 team's skiing progress and strong, tough attitudes!" - Rob Worrell, SSCV Alpine U14 Head Coach U14 Full-Time Results Highlights: SSCV U14 lead the RMD Divisional championships in Vail with 13 total podiums in that event which included SG, GS, SL. one female athlete led the women in the Division winning the SG, two GS's and one SL, while being on the podium in the other SL in 3rd place. one male athlete led the SSCV men with winning a GS, a 3rd in SG and a 3rd in the other GS.

Alpine Alpine Part-Time Programs - U14 & U16 Alpine Part-Time and YSL: “Last season we had to juggle a lot due to COVID on a daily basis especially, with our young athletes, from keeping them skiing almost all day without going into lodges, wearing masks at all times, staying warm on cold days, hot chocolate breaks outside, lots of encouragement, planning for everything, being flexible with our plans, etc. It was really amazing considering all of the challenges!" - Anje Worrell, SSCV Alpine Part-Time Programs Head Coach

Alpine Future Stars:

“This season was outstanding and far exceeded my expectations! I like to believe that what we were able to accomplish is nothing short of amazing. With the help of all of the coaches, parents, support staff, Vail Resorts and everyone who was involved, we were able to have some great moments during these challenging times. Our youngest athletes became extremely resilient, strong, great sportsmen/women, committed, and courageous little humans. From their first day walking with intrepidation up the stairs, to making their way up with determination and confidence at the end of the season! It was so much fun to watch the growth of these youngest members. I can't wait to see where they go and continue with their careers at SSCV!" - Pam Peterson, Future Stars Head Coach

Freeski & Snowboard The 2020-2021 season for the SSCV freeski, freeride and snowboard teams started off with a lot of uncertainty due to COVID restrictions worldwide. Fortunately, competitions and training were still able to run, giving the SSCV team the opportunity to earn points and move up the competition pipeline. Between all three teams, there were an impressive 149 podium finishes throughout all levels of competition for the 2020 - 2021 season. “Thanks to the dedication of all of our coaches and staff, these programs have become among the top ranked teams in the US. Our programs are growing and so is our dryland training equipment; this includes our 14x14 super trampoline, two olympic flybed trampolines with a foam pit, a skateboard pump track, and we will be adding a tow rope to our on site VSSA rail park for quicker laps. We have witnessed remarkable development of our team camaraderie as our athletes truly support and encourage their teammates, furthering everyone's positive experience and progression. Our coaches couldn’t be happier with everyone’s commitment, passion, and sportsmanship.” - Chris Laske, SSCV Freeski and Snowboard Program Director

Freeride “The Freeride Team competed only in Regional Events in the 2020-2021 season. Luckily, there are many tremendous competition venues in Colorado, so we were able to explore places like Telluride and Crested Butte. Athletes were allowed to compete in 3 events with the possibility of qualifying for the Regional Championships at Breckenridge. The SSCV Freeride Team skied impressively, gaining numerous podiums throughout the season and in the championship event. I am proud of the passionate energy that these athletes bring to training every day, and the camaraderie that is present on this team.” - Matt Luczkow, SSCV Head Freeride Coach

With constant changes to competition schedules and training opportunities, the snowboarders kept composure, and continued to thrive under pressure in slopestyle, halfpipe and boardercross, resulting in many impressive finishes and gained opportunities for advancement.

Mogul

The SSCV mogul team had a successful 2020-2021 season. The coaches, athletes, and parents all contributed to support each other and help the program thrive. The team saw great success at the World Cup level with Kai Owens winning her first World Cup at Deer Valley, Tess Johnson getting back on the World Cup podium, and Dylan Walczyk earning a top 10 in the men's World Cup standing. At home, the team had excellent early season training on Golden Peak and hosted high quality regional events for the Rocky Competitive, Qualifier, and Development Series. SSCV mogul athletes had overall wins at US Nationals and Junior Nationals and both the men's and women's overall winners at Rocky Mountain Freestyle Regional Championships. Great coaching at every level is the hallmark of the SSCV Mogul Program.

Mogul "It was a full team effort from start to finish, an organic masterpiece where athletes, coaches, parents, and all support staff came together to make it all possible! Early season, the Gold Peak Expansion was highly profitable for our team. Training at home provided a safe, yet world class, venue to be ready for our competition season. The resilience and the adaptability showcased by our athletes (and their parents) was the key to the SSCV FIS mogul team. Our team clinched many podiums at the Rocky Mountain level and also stood out at the National level, making it one of the most successful teams across the country. I was very proud of our athletes, our team, and to represent SSCV Freestyle." - Philippe Marquis, SSCV Head FIS Mogul Coach FIS Mogul Highlights: US National Champion Women's Mogul Junior National Champion Women's Mogul 6 US Team athletes

Mogul "We kept the ball rolling here at home all year long and had a lot of fun doing it. From hiking and snowmobiling jumps last Spring on backcountry booters, to summer at Hood where parents hosted 'bubble' groups, to running the T-Bar for a home Spring Camp this May, the coaches, kids, and parents really went the extra mile! In regional competition the SSCV Mogul Team owned the podium especially in the U15 for men and women and we ruled the U13 women." - John Dowling, SSCV Mogul Program Director Rocky Mountain Freestyle Competition Series Highlights: Rocky Mountain Freestyle Men's & Women's Regional Champions 4 Junior National Age Group Champions

Mogul “Despite a year of challenges ranging from limited dryland training to cancelled competition, the 2021 development mogul season was one of significant improvements. We started the year with highly beneficial balance and posture work on the new Golden Peak Expansion, which provided us with a much easier and more practical venue for additional time on snow. As the season progressed and we were able to acquire our normal venue on Black Forest, our athletes made excellent use of their time and consistently impressed me with their focus, effort and drive. SSCV's RQS and DEVO athletes finished strong!" - Brad Kreuz, SSCV Head Mogul Development Coach Rocky Mountain Freestyle Rocky Qualifier Series and Devo Series Highlights: numerous Rocky Mountain Freestyle podiums throughout the season numerous podiums at Rocky Mountain Freestyle Championships

Nordic The entire SSCV Nordic community of athletes, parents and coaches did an amazing job in the 2020-2021 season despite all of the issues surrounding COVID. Below are some specific highlights from the year.

Nordic Nordic “A huge thanks to all the parents for their unwavering support of their kids and the program during the 2020-2021 season. We were nothing but impressed by the dedication and commitment of each of you, thanks! The staff being under tremendous pressure did an amazing job keeping it all together. So many logistics, so many COVID forms, so many nights in hotels and so many long hours on the road. Thanks to all the staff for their focus and determination through all of this. Below are some specific highlights from the year. So many great results, awards and accolades, none of which would be possible without the community working together!” -Dan Weiland, SSCV Nordic and Cycling Program Director

Cycling The season was very interesting! When we first started (2nd week in May, 2020) we were the only sports program running, probably in the world. It was a bit scary to get things back up and running. Fortunately we had a tremendous amount of support from our local health department and our families. We continued to push through the entire season without any real issues. Fortunately for us we had the Vail Rec District who hosted a few Town Series events as well as a few junior specific events in the fall. It was so good to see young athletes competing! Our numbers for the season were very strong and we hope to continue the success into next season. - Dan Weiland, SSCV Nordic and Cycling Program Director

Academic Partners SSCV Academic Partners: SSCV fosters an environment where athletes may thrive, both on and off snow, both during and long after their time with SSCV. As such, SSCV collaborates closely with its below academic partners to help ensure that each full-time athlete excels both academically and athletically. VAIL SKI & SNOWBOARD ACADEMY – 5th-12th grade Eagle County public school educating SSCV full-time athletes VAIL MOUNTAIN SCHOOL – K-12th grade tuition-based independent school RED SANDSTONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL – K-5th grade Eagle County public school with a cooperative arrangement with SSCV for students to take part in a qualified SSCV four day a week full-time program (two half days mid-week plus Saturdays and Sundays) coupled with an after training study hall on Wednesday and Friday afternoons proctored by the SSCV/RSES Program Coordinator who is an SSCV staff member.

Advancement - SSCV Supporters Many thanks to SSCV supporters who enabled SSCV to achieve its fundraising goals amidst a world-wide pandemic, despite the inability to generate revenue from in-person special events due to COVID-19 restrictions. The success of SSCV’s fundraising initiatives is critical to achieving a balanced budget, with twenty percent ($1.352M) of SSCV’s $6.653M operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year comprised of revenue from fundraising. The Annual Campaign is SSCV’s single largest fundraising initiative. The Annual Campaign coupled with support from SSCV’s sponsors, in-kind donors and auction purchasers, as well as the support from restricted donations and Academic Fund support for VSSA based academic coaches, helps assure the best possible experience FOR THE KIDS. In addition, SSCV could not accomplish what it did on Golden Peak these past few years without the support of its Golden Peak Expansion Capital Campaign donors.
