Such an honor for a friend of mine, who is just an all around great person and leader within the ski industry. I'm sure that if any other AZ'ers have met Kelly, or seen her on the job, they will applaud this choice by the NSAA. If one has never met Kelly, or don't think you have met Kelly, you may very well have come across her scanning your tickets on a busy day, or clearing tables in the cafeteria or helping to restock and/or clean the women's restroom on a busy day, not to mention the chance you've shared a lift ride with her. She is very much a hands on leader, for whom she makes it very clear through her actions that there is basically no job that needs to be done that she won't do herself.
While I am thrilled for the opportunity this will present for Kelly, I am also as bit bittersweet about it as she won't be around Mount Snow nearly as much as well as the general Mount Snow are where she is actively involved in just about any community charitable foundation and/or community enhancement group you can think of. And for those purely selfish reasons, a small part of me wishes the NSAA chose a different person.
I look forward though to seeing where her vision for the ski industry takes this sport that we all enjoy in the coming years!
