I’m taking nominations for the following awards to be present at our Southern Regional banquet Saturday night July 26. Please take a moment to read the qualifications and reply back ASAP. Thanks!
Jennifer Odem Sprit Award
Candidates, either male or female, must be junior barefoot Skiers (16 years and under) who display a spirit of helpfulness, a positive attitude, enthusiasm, the ability to get along well with other skiers and officials, good sportsmanship, and a willingness to share positive experiences with peers. Candidates do not necessarily have to be champion skiers.
