Daniel started with Team Summit as a U10 Alpine athlete, rising through the ranks as a promising young racer, until his passion for steeps, powder and air, drew his attention to the Big Mountain relm where he excelled as an athlete and team leader. After college in Utah, Daniel came right back to Team Summit in a coaching role and quickly stepped up as a leader and eventually as, Head Coach. This Season, Daniel managed his largest group ever, on 3 event tours while keeping home training going with a thin staff.  The athletes excelled, his coaches stepped up, and the families had a blast. Daniel's dedication, compassion and enthusiasm are an example for us all. Thanks for a great year!
