We are excited to name Mateo Bakken as Athlete of the Month for March 2020! Mateo was nominated unanimously by coaches and athletes after putting on a remarkable show at the IFSA Snowmass competition. Additionally, Mateo is recognized for his dedication week in, week out. When he is not crushing big mountain lines, Mateo can be found skinning Little Annie’s Basin with his mom Liza, father John, and dog Charlie. Congratulations Mateo!!!

Our January Athlete of the Month is Nate Thomas. Nate’s dedication to our Core Values of Commitment, Teamwork, and Integrity elevates our whole team. Nate is currently on track to become an Eagle Scout and is on the Varsity Football team. Nate shows up early and stays late. His attitude and actions inspire peer accountability, which attributes to our programs success. Congratulations Nate!
