Alpine Coach of the Year
The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Coach of the Year Award recognizes outstanding contribution to the development and international programs by a coach resulting in high-level performance by his or her athletes in competition during the past season. Coaches of the year are recognized for their leadership, commitment, sport knowledge, and passion, including proven ability to foster athletic excellence amongst their constituents or teams.
Nominations can be made during the year and are generally due mid-March. The awards are presented at championship events in the spring or at the Chairman's Dinner in May during the US Ski & Snowboard Spring Congress.
