Athlete of the Week: March 9
SVSEF provides ski and snowboard programming to nearly 700 athletes in the Wood River Valley. Athlete of the Week is an opportunity to highlight individuals who embody the values championed by this organization; sportsmanship, citizenship, character, teamwork, creativity, passion and perseverance.
Harper Mallett, Freeski Travel
"Harper is the hardest working freeski athlete I know and is always out there pushing the limits of his skiing. He is also a great role model for the next generation of freeski athletes. Look for great things from Harper in the future, on and off the hill!"
Tyler Conway
Freeski Travel Head Coach
Wesley Sewell, Baldy Devo
"Our Athlete Of The Week is Wesley Sewell – he is a super smooth skier with a great attitude and is an excellent teammate.
Wesley never complains and will ski any run. He is also very courageous, showing true grit after coming down with the flu; a tough way to get a personal flight to Boise. We are looking forward to seeing him soon back on team!"
Chad Pringle
Baldy Devo Coach
Sarah Leidecker, Cross Country Prep
"Sarah is one of the most helpful, positive skiers we have ever had on the team. She is always the first one to volunteer to help, and completes any and every task with a huge smile on her face. Sarah is capable of finding the fun in every task – even earlier this year when a significant injury could have brought her down, she persevered through and came back grinning and raring to go. Last weekend at the Intermountain Youth Championships, Sarah showed her appreciation for the sport and the people around her when she jumped up on the microphone at the awards banquet and took it upon herself to thank all the coaches and volunteers at the event on behalf of all the other competitors, not something a typical 7th grader would be eager to do. Sarah’s kind, positive nature is contagious and with her hard work and appreciation for every part of the sport, she is an integral part of the Prep Team."

He's a great teammate, responds well to coaching, and is passionate about skiing. He never gives up and is always looking to elevate his charging hunger on the course. Above all, he's a great guy to be around.

He snowboards to his own drum, and that’s what makes him unique among the kids on the D Team. He's one of the leaders in the group, and he lets his riding do the talking.

Freeski Travel/Progression
Slopestyle:
Young Barrett Beyer was able to put down a very clean run during Saturday’s slopestyle, ending his run with a massive 720 with a tweaked safety grab. Barrett secured a gold medal in the Grommet Boys division (8-9 years old). Leo Hayes was right on his tail, and found himself on the podium with a bronze medal.
In the Menehune Boys division (10-11 years old), it was Zack Torres’ day as he flew through the course and was technically sound, earning himself a gold medal. Teammate Kai Van Bueren oozed style and was able to put together a nice run and wound up in second place.
In the Breaker Boys division (12-13 years old), Ry Mann skied well and earned a bronze medal with his smooth style and strong execution. Spencer Ferries came in 4th, George Corkery was right behind him in 5th, Easton Turck in 6th, and Alex Leahy right behind in 7th.
Inez Kraynick took home a silver medal in the Breaker Girls division.
Anton Holter continues to be a force in the Big Mountain West Series, earning a silver medal in the Youth Mens division (14-15 years old) with difficult tricks and impressive fluidity.
Rail Jam:
In the 9 & Under Freeski Division, Barrett Beyer once again skied his heart out and found himself atop the podium, with teammate Leo Hayes right behind in third place.
Zeppelin Pilaro was back to his winning ways on Sunday, putting down some ridiculous tricks throughout the rail jam competition, and took home the gold in the 10-13 year old Freeski group. Teammates Kai Van Bueren, Zack Torres, and Easton Turck narrowly missed the podium, finishing in 4-6th place.

Astrid Villa, Snowboard Team

Astrid Villa came to the SVSEF Snowboard program this season as a WRHS senior. Astrid had been a recreational snowboarder, but her passion for the sport had grown beyond that.
She has approached joining the team as what I like to describe as her “senior project.” She shows up every day with a smile and a determination to improve, which are infectious and noticed by her teammates.
Her improvements have been many, including hitting her first park features ever this season! What she is doing is hard, and she approaches it with the best possible attitude. She has been a great addition to our team and an example for all of the riders on our team!

Every day on hill with Hunter has been a telling experience about how talented of a skier he is. No matter what conditions you throw at him, he finds a way to adapt and progress. Hunter's strong skiing fundamentals are a huge reason for his steady grasp of the Big Mountain scene. We're all very excited to see where Hunter takes his skiing from here, because he's going nowhere but up!

Jaxon Patterson is the Mini X Athlete of the Week. Jaxon lives outside of the valley, and his folks have made a heroic effort to help him to get rad with us. He is grateful and kind, and he's also brave just taking on a rail with good speed for the first time, then taking it to the knee. It only took him about five minutes before he went right back to skiing the park at Dollar. Ow, that's tough! Jaxon is also dedicated, which shows through in his stellar attendance. Thanks, Stephanie, Jake, and Jaxon, we really enjoy having y'all on the team!

She always comes to training really excited to work hard, and she has been one of our team leaders this year as a senior girl in the group. Molly is very focused and driven; she has been working hard this year to raise money for her personal skiing goals, and she is dedicated to this sport and this group. We're glad to have her on the team!

SVSEF Snowboarding Athlete of the week is Sebastian Lerner. “Seabass” won the Beverly Hay Snowboard Cup for his results in the USASA Big Mountain West Series events at Dollar this week.
He netted two first place finishes in Boardercross as well as two silver medals in Slopestyle in the highly competitive Breaker Boys (13-14) Division. All the while keeping a smile on his face and having fun while riding at a high level. I personally watched him wait in the finish area and congratulate each rider as they finished their runs during the Slopestyle event.
He has been working really hard during training days and we see him becoming mentally tough but thoughtful about his riding! He’s just getting started.

Fletch Palmer is Athlete of the Week for the Mini X team. Fletch is one of those athletes who stays cool under pressure, and is polite and coachable.

The courage it takes to stand up there for the first time with adults and peers judging you is commendable. Having an open mind and patience under pressure are qualities that will help this young athlete be successful in whatever he chooses to pursue.

Johannes is a hard working, big smiling, trick tossing boss man. He came into this season with a small bag of tricks, but through his hard work, dedication, and positive attitude, his repertoire is rapidly growing. Starting with rodeos in Park City, to bios and now cork 7’s, there doesn’t seem to be a limit to what Yo can do. He’s a trendsetter and a great role model for the rest of the team. Proud to have him on the squad.

Aaron Gathrid might be the quiet type, but his strong skiing and unbridled positive attitude have been doing the talking for him. Since joining SVSEF this fall, Aaron has been on the fast track of progression. Not only has his ski talent expanded to a whole new level, but his camaraderie and caring mentality for the group has truly shown what a great person he is.
Aaron has been tackling every obstacle you can throw his direction, it’s been an absolute pleasure watching him along the way.

Elliot has proven that talking about skiing doesn’t make you the best skier. He encourages his peers to push their limits by pushing his own. He is always ready to go big, whether others will or not. Elliot supports his teammates if they stomp it or blow up. He’s a great kid, always with a smile on his face and the boldness to get back on his feet after landing on his butt.

Naomi displays proper fundamentals and is passionate for progression. She's a big motivator on the team; she encourages her teammates to be better, both vocally and in the way she rides. We're glad to have her on team!

Jack Broderson has been a great addition to the XC Prep Team this season. He manages to find positivity and fun in everything we do at Prep Team. Whether slogging up a hill in freezing temperatures or pushing himself out of his comfort zone on speedy downhills, Jack has smile on his face, as if every day at ski team is a new adventure. Never a complainer and eager to improve, he makes teaching fun and is an essential part of our team.

Dominic is new to SVSEF this year and has already impressed all the North Series coaches with his stellar attitude. After a big fall or when skiing something more challenging, Dominic never complains, he just quietly keeps working on his skiing. He is a great addition to any group because he supports his teammates and works hard every day. There have been a couple days when he has forgotten his equipment but that doesn’t stop Dominic from showing up the next day with a big smile. We love having Dominic on North Series and can’t wait to see how his skiing progresses throughout the season.
- Josie Brownell, North Series Coach
