2010–11 Annual Report - USSA

2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTAs a U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) member or supporter, thank you for the spirit ofOlympism you bring to our sport. Following in the footsteps of our athletes’ Best in the World success inVancouver, the 2011 season showcased some amazing athletic accomplishments, sharp membershipgrowth, a balanced budget and milestone accomplishments as an organization. Among those wasthe development of a new USSA athletic program and brand, U.S. Freeskiing, foreshadowing theannouncement of new Olympic sports.Our elite teams – the face of our sport to the world – enjoyed a high level of success. Freestyle’s HannahKearney and snowboarder Kelly Clark both dominated their sports and set new standards of excellence.Lindsey Vonn and Ted Ligety repeated with titles on the Audi FIS Alpine World Cup, while Kikkan Randallmade history for American cross country.Athletic development remains vital to long term success. The work of our 425 local clubs integratingwith our USSA National Training System continues to grow. We will expand that connectivity moving forward with the addition of a sportdevelopment staff position to work directly with clubs.The success of our athletes stems in a large way from the support made possible by our passionate donors. This year we completed our$60 million Legacy Campaign that not only made the USSA Center of Excellence a reality, but continues to support our athletic programseach year. Moving forward, we will launch a new educational endowment to expand our scholastic support to USSA athletes.Much as we experienced with the USSA Center of Excellence, we have another game-changing opportunity for our athletes with thedevelopment of an on-snow downhill speed training center in Colorado. The U.S. Ski Team Speed Center at Copper will open this falland will bring benefits to both elite athletes and club programs.This year we also witnessed a positive approach by the International Olympic Committee to recognize the popularity of new events withthe addition of freeskiing and the expansion of snowboarding. The USSA played a key role with the International Ski Federation to setthe stage for the IOC to add halfpipe skiing, along with slopestyle skiing and snowboarding, for 2014.Business growth within the USSA was strong – our best post-Olympic year ever! That performance allowed us to provide greater supportto our athletes thanks to active partner renewals across all categories, including 100 percent consumer product partner renewal and theintroduction of key new partners like The North Face, Putnam Investments and Marriott. Our Foundation saw renewed interest in GoldPass and innovation in new special events.The new Olympic sports will enhance our opportunities for medals beginning in 2014. But they also present challenges to us as anorganization in providing support across many new sports. Our board’s Long Term Strategic Plan, adopted in 2010, continues to provideus with a roadmap for funding methodology and infrastructure development to best help our athletes.The success of our organization is thanks to contributions of USSA members and supporters like you. We are also fortunate to havestrong leadership on our boards, including USSA Chairman Dexter Paine and U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation PresidentJohn Cumming.We made some great strides as an organization in 2011. We need to continue that momentum into the future to provide each USSAathlete an opportunity to be best in the world.Bill MaroltPresident and CEOU.S. Ski and Snowboard Association
