Each year, U.S. Ski and Snowboard honors one club that demonstrates the most outstanding athletic and organizational achievements throughout the season.
Team Soldier Hollow, based in Midway at the 2002 Olympic venue, stood out for its growth and dedication to youth development.
The team boasts a membership of more than 550 local youth athletes who ski at least twice a week in Soldier Hollow’s programs and has invested more than $16 million into its facilities over the last five years.
Soldier Hollow Nordic Center is also slated to be the venue for the 2034 Olympics when the Winter Games return to Utah.
