CHARACTER: We will engage all of our endeavours with a positive attitude that will insure our highest level of success.

All of us at the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation appreciate your dedicated support over the last year—our extended family and our community. This was a year of significant transition. My first year as the Executive Director and the renovation of the Engl Training Center represented the most significant organizational change the SVSEF has experienced in recent history.

Two weeks after I arrived in Sun Valley we embarked on the single biggest capital project in SVSEF history. Through the generosity of our Board of Directors and group of donors from outside the organization we were able to transform the Engl Training Center from a time worn and threadbare space into the newest, nicest, most advanced and cutting edge training center in the nation. The pride surrounding this overhaul can be felt through the entire organization and ultimately sets the stage for SVSEF athlete success.

We enjoyed monumental success in Sochi.

Kaitlyn Farrington and Jake Adicoff represented the U.S. and SVSEF on the Olympic and Paralympic stage along with Coach Ben Verge, an SVSEF alumni, who guided David Wise and Maddie Bowman to gold medals. Additionally, SVSEF Alpine Team alumni Jasmine Campbell competed for the U.S. Virgin Island Olympic team.

These athletes embody the depth of character that the SVSEF strives to instill in our entire family and community. The ability to seize the moment and make the most of an opportunity are qualities we are determined to instill in every athlete we serve. Kaitlyn and Jake in particular are an inspiration to all our upcoming athletes—proving that dreams can be realized.

Through our scholarship programs the SVSEF is able to continue building upon the dreams of our athletes. During the 2013-14 season we awarded $134,000.00 to nearly one hundred athletes or twenty percent of our total team. This significant amount of aid is made possible by the generosity of our supporters.

There are future champions, Olympians and well-

rounded ambassadors of the SVSEF who would not be able to access our program without these valuable scholarships.

During the 2013-14 season the United States Ski and Snowboard Association embarked on improving club programs. The SVSEF was chosen to participate and underwent a comprehensive evaluation by the USSA as part of the initial nationwide certification program.

As part the inaugural group of ten Snow Sport Programs, the SVSEF received a Silver Level Certification by the USSA. We wholeheartedly embraced this challenge and opportunity. The process is similar to the accreditation evaluation that independent schools undergo to determine their compliance with best practices. As a result it was determined that the SVSEF needs to develop a comprehensive strategic plan to receive Gold Level status.

In early June the SVSEF Board held a two-day Strategic Planning retreat where we developed an outline for our strategic plan.

We are extremely grateful to Peter LaFleur for volunteering his time and leading us to the conclusion that Building a Foundation for Excellence is the basis for our future and the Gold in our plan. With direction of our Board, the SVSEF strategic plan will be presented to USSA in April of 2015 where we will request an upgrade to Gold Certification status.

The SVSEF has much to be proud of as we look back on the accomplishments of the 201314 season. As an organization we will continue to develop and refine in order to achieve our vision of creating the BEST Junior Snow Sports Development Program in the Nation.

This is a powerful statement and a lofty goal. In order to become THAT Program the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation needs the undivided support of our entire community and extended family. Fundraising continues to be a significant component of our overall revenue and we cannot operate without reaching our annual fundraising goals.

This Annual Report serves as the signature acknowledgement of the contributions for which the SVSEF is grateful. Thank you!

REMEMBERING TORIN

by Mike Sinnott

I was at Grumpy’s - post Boulder Mountain Tour - enjoying a recovery beer when I heard. I was too shocked, too confused, and too numb to comprehend. Torin Tucker had passed away. This vibrant laughing soul was gone to no longer grace the ski trails with his shirtless charisma. He was just a kid, and a friend, and it didn’t seem possible. A junior at Dartmouth College, Torin Tucker collapsed while racing during the 50k Craftsbury Marathon in Vermont. He was having the race of his life, finding new limits in pushing himself. His quiet passing felt like a thunderstorm to the Dartmouth and SVSEF communities.

The beautiful thing about Torin was he loved the outdoors and he loved giving everything his best. Torin and his family moved to the Wood River Valley when he was a freshman, in part to join SVSEF and plumb his ability as a cross-country racer. His quirky self-confidence quickly endeared him to the team, and his drive led him to compete at the Junior National Championships. He was never the fastest skier, never the most technical or strongest, but he always had the biggest smile. Torin breathed the values oft-lectured by coach Rick Kapala: try hard and enjoy what you are doing. He gave so much life to the program not because he inspired us with his winning, but because he seemed to win without crossing the line first. His lust for adventure took him up mountains and to study in the Middle East. His sharp mind helped him devour books and dominate in fantasy football.

From fraternity brother to National Merit Finalist, his range was extraordinary, but never surprising. A generous, friendly soul, Torin helped you realize that a proper attitude could remove all barriers.

This July several friends came together to remember. We reveled in the outdoors and shared laughs. We climbed mountains, biked, and rafted; some even gathered on the East Coast to celebrate this first annual “TNT Classic”. It was a celebration of a life we all could look up to: a man whose desire and drive exceeded his bodily ability. I now realize how beautiful his passing was, probing the depths of his strength, a crisp bite in the air and the snow crackling by, then silently succumbing to the limits of the human spirit to rest forever on trails made of snow.

Though your passing be untimely and your days be cut too soon, I hold your strength inside me and adventure now for two.

Mike Sinnott is a SVSEF alum and former captain of the Dartmouth Cross Country Team.

In December 2014, the SVSEF Cross Country Team honored Torin by naming a trail at Lake Creek after him. Torin’s Tuck’er is the biggest, gnarliest hill and the fastest downhill in the Lake Creek Trail System.

A Special Thank You to a Major Role—Katrina Collins You may not realize how important Katrina Collins has been to the SVSEF for the past 14 years. Her position as accounts manager is, in my opinion, the most difficult job in our entire organization. On a daily basis Katrina manages transactions from multiple programs all while managing the entire organization. Her patience interpreting payroll reports from four separate Program Directors, tracking travel billing for dozens of trips every year, managing accounts of hundreds of athletes is daunting to most­. It is a stressful job and an incredible amount of responsibility for one person to have. Katrina has handled it all, year after year with grace, poise, understanding, compassion and professionalism.

Katrina, thank you for helping keep the SVSEF running year after year. Thank you for supporting the freestyle/freeskiing program both as an accounts administrator and as a parent of two freestyle athletes. You will be missed.

Annual Report 2013-2014

ALPINE TEAM - Scott McGrew

The 2013-2014 season was defined by innovation, vision, and the growing pulse of change.

There were some phenomenal athletic performances up and through the ranks with podium spots at the U18 National Championships, U16 Regional Championships, U14 IMD Champs, and the North Series. We had more athletes qualify for end of the year championships that any year on record. Our newly-remodeled Engl Training Center defined itself as a flagship space for youth sports, both within the Wood River Valley and beyond. The generosity and vision of our community of donors helped to create a truly innovative clubhouse that is both elegant in design and highly effective in its purpose. Due to the remodeled space, the alpine team was able to deliver more content, more video review, and more inspiration through the facility than previously possible. This was an incredible project that helped the team to redefine not only our organizational space, but our athletic programming as we began to operate in a center intentionally designed for teaching and efficiency.

The SVSEF alpine team persisted in its role as a cornerstone organization within the community. Not only did the club provide another year of exceptional athletic programming, but also continued to inspire our members to find engagement and purpose to thrive as citizens. This continues to be an essential aspect of the SVSEF’s mission and role. We were able to celebrate with new events and awards such as the all-discipline Olympic day celebration and the True North Award and scholarship.

In September of 2014, there was a changing of the guard as Ruben Macaya, our longtime Alpine Program Director handed me the reins to the horse train. This is a true honor to have been charged with leading the alpine team; a role that demands vision, drive, and passion. The 2013-14 season was one defined by the thrill of competition, the glow of passion, and the excitement of innovation.

Annual Report 2013-2014

SNOWBOARD TEAM - Andy Ware

In the 16 years snowboarding has been an Olympic sport a SVSEF snowboard team athlete has competed in the Olympics. The SVSEF snowboard athletes continued to shine again in the 2013-14 season.

Kaitlyn Farrington’s gold medal effort at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, proved to every up and coming snowboarder in the program that you really can get there from right here. Led by an outstanding coaching staff the snowboard program continues to make a big impression regionally, nationally and internationally. Two alumni returned to help this season, Heather Black and Patrick Hurley joined the ranks as coaches and worked alongside their former coaches to help the athletes train and prepare week after week.

Following in Kaitlyn’s wake this season, Chase Josey made waves in the snowboard world as well.

Chase spent the season on the U.S. Rookie team earning multiple top 10 World Cup finishes in the halfpipe, won the Burton U.S. Open Qualifier and was 2nd at the Red Bull Double Pipe. Chase’s efforts paid off and he was selected to the U.S. Pro team for next season.

There is a strong team of younger athletes close on the heels of Chase and Kaitlyn. Head coach, Jacob Tyler and coach Jon French took 10 athletes to the USASA Snowboard National Championships.

Clara Jenner earned a silver in halfpipe and Cora Kaiser earned silver in halfpipe and bronze in boardercross.

It was my first year as acting snowboard program director. I inherited a solid program from Andy Gilbert that already operates at a high level. It has been very exciting to be a part of the program this past season and I look forward to being a part of their continued success in the future.

FREESTYLE/FREESKIING TEAMS - Andy Ware

The Freestyle and Freeskiing teams just completed one of their best seasons ever. The program grew to over 110 athletes, the largest it has ever been. From the Devo team to our Gold Team SVSEF Freestyle and Freeskiing athletes were pursuing their passions all over the world.

With so many new athletes joining the program we were able to bring on more coaches as well. SVSEF alumni Conor Davis began coaching the Devo and Prep team athletes and the Freeskiing Comp teams saw help from alum, Collin Collins. Fellow freestyle friend Brandon Doan also joined our Devo team coaching staff. Our travel teams also had help from U.S. Freestyle team members, Shane Cordeau and Reed Snyderman, both now permanent members of our coaching staff. Our entire coaching staff made every training session worthwhile and fun. It is truly an honor to work with so many incredible people who are willing to share their passion for skiing with the SVSEF athletes.

Our athletes pushed themselves week after week all season long. We qualified an astounding 21 athletes for the Freestyle and Freeskiing Junior National Championships! Seven more qualified for U.S. Freestyle National Championships, four went on to the USASA Freeskiing National Championships and two athletes qualified for the FIS Junior World Championships.

When it was all said and done Jacob Beebe had completed one of the most successful seasons in SVSEF Freeskiing history. Jacob won the Intermountain division title for halfpipe and slopestyle, overall title in the USSA Rev Tour halfpipe series, earned silver in

halfpipe at U.S. Junior National Championships and finished fourth at FIS Junior World Championships. His efforts earned him the attention of the U.S. Freeskiing coaches, and Jacob was selected to the U.S. Freeskiing Halfpipe Rookie Team in May, 2014.

Trevor Hattabaugh completed his senior season on a high note as well. Trevor capped off his final event as an SVSEF Freeskiing athlete with a bronze medal in open class halfpipe at USASA National Championships. Trevor was also invited to FIS Junior World Champs and U.S. Freeskiing project gold camp.

He continues to remain on the U.S. Freeskiing coaches’ short list as a future U.S. team athlete.

Freestyle team athletes Zach Maricich-Siele and Jack Rizzo took home overall titles not once but twice in Intermountain and Northern division mogul events. Both Zach and Jack qualified for the U.S. Freestyle National Championships and are back next season to lead the team.

It was another community effort to produce these type of results from our athletes. The constant support of the SVSEF families, Sun Valley Co. and everyone who believes in these athletes provides them with the opportunity to set lofty goals and go after them with unbounded energy and exuberance.

The future for SVSEF freestyle and freeskiing athletes is wide open. A big thank you to the SVSEF administration, Rob Clayton and the board of directors for their vision, leadership and guidance throughout the year.

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM - Rick Kapala

GOLD TEAM

Life on the Cross Country ski team is something of a different beast than what is normal for most sports. So much time is spent in training activities like running backcountry trails, rollerskiing countless kilometers and scaling local peaks that the challenge of racing can seem like a wholly different experience.

We have a saying on the team that “One has to love the training life” if we are to be successful. When we look at our results from the past year, the kids must really be loving the work because the Nordic Team put together one of our best seasons ever.

SVSEF had skiers on the podium at virtually every level of the sport; from Intermountain Youth Champs to U.S. Junior Champs to U.S. Senior Nationals, SVSEF skiers stepped onto the podium. Five different juniors earned medals at JN’s , we had skiers earning medals at Nationals and we had skiers representing Sun Valley and the U.S. at International Competitions.

This success is built on the depth of the programming at every level.

The 2013-14 season brought near record numbers of children skiing at our entry level Devo Team, and our middle school Prep Team has grown to be the largest ever. The Comp Team is regularly qualifying the most amount of skiers in Intermountain to U.S. Junior Nationals. All of the skiers in the program benefit from motivated coaches working hard on behalf of every skier combined with local ski facilities that are among the best in the country. Emphasizing to all the kids the value of the whole ski team experience.

The training, travel, racing and camaraderie are critical elements to success and if we all stay committed to the process the results will surely follow.

In 2005, the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation created the Olympic Development Team to financially assist qualified SVSEF athletes who had risen “through the top” to become the less than 1 percent who compete at the international level. With the support of donors, three SVSEF athletes competed at the Vancouver Olympic Games in 2010. The team was renamed the Gold Team in 2011. Member Kaitlyn Farrington captured the Olympic Gold medal in women’s snowboard halfpipe at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

Not only do Gold Team athletes receive financial assistance along with one of the best training environments in the country, our younger athletes benefit from the exposure and interaction with these high caliber athletes, creating inspiration and motivation at all levels.

SVSEF

ACADEMICS Matt Leidecker—Academic Director The SVSEF Academic Program was established in 1998 to help our athletes navigate the conflict inherent with being a competitive skier/snowboarder in the middle of an academic year. The academic program has three main pillars; communication, monitoring, and academic support.

With four different middle and high schools in the Wood River Valley our Academic Director, Matt Leidecker, plays an important role as the communications liaison between the SVSEF and each academic institution. Policies established with the schools allow our students time for after school training, and offer ways for students to “lighten the load” during the busy competition season.

SVSEF athletes are required to maintain a “C” letter grade in all courses in oder to miss school for a travel event. Periodic grade checks and athlete travel grade report forms help the Academic Director enforce this policy. With the remodel and expansion of the SVSEF headquarters, the program now has an on-site academic center where athletes can take advantage of an after-ski assistance program five days a week.

Despite the daunting challenges of juggling both their snowsport and academic responsibilities, SVSEF athletes maintain a very high academic standard. For the last two seasons, the cumulative GPA of 9–12th grade athletes in all SVSEF disciplines was a 3.3 or B+. In addition, 60% of our high school athletes achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.5 of higher earning an “Academic Achievement” award at the end of the competition season.

Passion Perseverance Sportsmanship Citizenship Teamwork Creativity Character A sports reporter for more than half my life, I thought I was pretty well versed when it came to winter sports. But in my first full year as Communications Director for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation covering and getting to know our athletes on a deeper level, I realized how little I actually knew about what it takes to be a successful skier or snowboarder.

Dedication, desire, commitment, perseverance, toughness and resilience all play a part. As someone who grew up playing team sports, the idea that your performance is entirely up to you is daunting. Sure, as a member of the SVSEF you have your teammates, coaches and supporting cast, but when you are in the gates, on course, in the halfpipe, sliding a rail, or boosting off a kicker it is you and you alone. It is a culmination of all the sweat equity and desire you can wring into that one particular moment. Sometimes it does not turn out how you expected or anticipated it would. And that is what impresses me the most - the absolute resilience of these young people.

It takes heart to bounce back day in and day out and there are so many variables; weather,

Annual Report 2013-2014

equipment, travel, training, fueling, academics, and it is quite a feat when the kids put all the factors together and it adds up to something good. But sometimes it does not. I love the small successes within what might be perceived a “failure.” The ability to rebound from a disappointing race or series and not let it define you, but to shrug it off and put it in the rear view mirror and get on with the business of being better today than you were the day before. It is nothing short of brave and I saw it time and time again last winter.

Winston Churchill famously remarked, “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” It’s a privilege to be part of an organization whose members constantly strive to be better than they were the day before – with no loss of enthusiasm. I greatly admire our dedicated athletes and the way they face life; head up, straight on and with a smile.

Kind regards,

Jody Zarkos

FUNDRAISING Marrying fun with function the events of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation hold a dual purpose: to raise funds and to raise fun.

Our cannot-miss-events have been through several incarnations, but always combine community, camaraderie and a bigger purpose of helping the children in our programs and community at-large.

Proceeds from Six at Sochi, Janss Pro-Am Classic, Winter Lift Off, Baldy Hill Climb, and Ski Swap help support our more than 500 athletes, enabling us to award need-based scholarships, provide academic assistance, defray travel, racing and equipment expenses, and operate a world-class training facility. Competitions staged by the SVSEF bring energy, excitement and money to the Wood River Valley, supporting our local economy and population.

Through our fundraising events we are also able to provide quality on-snow training and top-notch coaching our athletes deserve and need. The proceeds allow us to keep tuition as low as possible so any child who has the desire to join the SVSEF is able to do so.

We encourage you to take part in any or all of our celebrations. You too will be saying, “I AM SVSEF.”
