Our “Word of the Week” program, presented by Downtown Conoco, has started! Over the course of the winter, we will feature ten words that have significance for our athletes and the club in pursuit of creating champions on and off the mountain. The words were chosen by our own “Champions on the Mountain”; athletes who won championship events last season. These words will also celebrate ten “Champions off the Mountain”; SSWSC alumni who have been successful and made a positive impact on their community or in their industry, outside of snowsport.

This week’s #WordoftheWeek is “goals”. Goals was chosen by mogul skier Trudy Mickel. Last season, Trudy made some huge leaps in her skiing and capped it off with a win at the Junior World Championships at Chiesa in Valmalenco, Italy. Trudy says, “Goals are a crucial part of achieving success. This can be from an every day goal to a weekly goal to a yearly goal. They help to motivate, inspire and encourage you.” Alpine racing alumnus Tammie Bowes Delaney is this week’s “Champion off the Mountain.”
