The Dave McCoy Achievement Award

Each year, the California Ski Industry Association recognizes one of our outstanding members for his or her lasting and significant contributions with the Dave McCoy Achievement Award.  Named after Dave McCoy, the founder of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, the award represents the pioneering spirit, perseverance and inspiration, which he has taught so many of us through his years of leadership. The award is presented to a long-term, "hands-on" ski area employee who has made a difference; someone who has made significant improvements in his/her field of expertise, been a mentor to others, or devised new safety tools or procedures for skiers or other workers. Nominations are submitted by people from all facets of ski area maintenance and operation. The Dave McCoy Achievement Award is a very special honor and should serve as a reminder to all of us who work behind the scenes that we can and do make a difference.

Please note that the tradition of the Dave McCoy Lifetime Achievement Award will continue despite the change in format of the CSIA conference.  The CSIA Board is currently considering options for the nomination system and presentation of the award.
