Hall of Fame - CALL FOR NOMINATIONS 
For nearly a century, the ski racing community has been building a vibrant sport and community in the Canadian Rockies, which has resulted in great international results such as the Olympic bronze medal won by Jan Hudec this past winter at the Sochi Games.

A key reason for this legacy of success is the tireless commitment of volunteers, builders, officials and ski team alumnus. And we all know, it takes a community to build a champion. 
 
To ensure appropriate recognition in our community to those who have invested countless hours of time and to ensure the sport continues to provide the resources and support to develop future champions, Alberta Alpine and the Friends of Alberta Ski Racing are calling for nominations for the Class of 2014 to the Canadian Rockies Ski Racing Hall of Fame. This annual event recognizes deserving individuals who have made a significant contribution to the sport of alpine ski racing in the province and western Canada.
