For those of you that couldn't make it to the party on Wednesday, it was a good time. We presented Hunter Flinders with the 'Most Improved Skier' award, and P.J. Baymiller with the 'Skier of the Year' award. Nice work boys! These two proved their dedication to skiing this season with all the hard work they put into their training. Hunter improved tremendously this year with 3 top ten finishes and throwing huge 360's off of even huger (as in bigger) jumps. PJ earned the skier of the year because of his ability to be a team leader and willingness to help his team at every opportunity. His knowledge and ability to teach that to his fellow teammates is a great showcase to his character. Heap 3 first places, one second place, and the overall at Brian Head, plus his mad freeskiing skills on top and shazaam! you've got yourself the Sundance Skier of the Year.
Both received a custom ceramic plate made by Tim at the Sundance Art Shack.
We want these awards to properly recognize two of our most outstanding athletes from the previous season. We also want them to become something that every athlete desires to earn the next season. We are a growing team gaining a lot of recognition from other teams, organizers, and [cool] people in general. What we do now as a team will set the standard for years to come, and we hope these awards come to embody everything that is cool about the Sundance Ski Team. Everyone of our athletes give something unique to our team, and the more that you involve yourself in it, then the more that everyone benefits. Thank you all for a great season and we look forward to next year!
