This is the top honor in our snowboard program.  This award is for excellence in snowboarding.  We define excellence as hard work + results = excellence. 

The nominees for this award all achieved some high honors this season.  Karis Stang won a futures tour earning a spot on Norams for 20/21.  Tommy Brown finished 2^nd in the country for Big Mountain Snowboarding.  And the winner Alyssa Moroco completed a long list of goals this season. 

Alyssa’s season started with a big goal setting session at New Zealand summer camp last year.  I, Matty V,  personally held Alyssa to the goals that we set early in the season.  A standard that was pretty high for a new FIS aged snowboarder.  Alyssa crushed the gym sessions last summer and fall, showing up 9 hours/ week to work out.  Her work ethic in the off-season set her up for the results she pulled in season.  Alyssa managed to place 2^nd in 2 futures tours earning a spot on the Noram tour for 20/21 and also made finals in one of the final Noram stops in 2020.  This will set Alyssa up to continue to work on harder lines to work her way through the Noram tour and into world cups in the next couple of years. 

Congratulations Alyssa!
