The Ski & Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV) community welcomes its next Executive Director, Kirk Dwyer, to lead the organization’s efforts starting in June 2016 after serving out his 16th year as Headmaster at Burke Mountain Academy.

In addition to ensuring that the academic and snow sport offerings ran smoothly at BMA during his 15 years there, Dwyer also coached athletes throughout his tenure, helping many of them attain the highest level of success in the sport. Notably, he was Mikaela Shiffrin’s primary coach during her time at BMA.

“Kirk is one of the most highly regarded professionals in ski racing. Whether at Green Mt. Valley School or now at Burke Mountain Academy, Kirk has spent his career helping young men and women reach for their dreams,” said current SSCV Executive Director Aldo Radamus. “I’m certain that Kirk will continue the more than 50 year legacy of excellence at SSCV and that the club and Vail Valley will be as supportive and provide as much fulfillment to he and his family as my family and I have been blessed with over the past 13 years.”

“I look forward to welcoming Kirk and his family to Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, introducing him to our community and working together for a seamless transition of leadership,” Radamus added.

“I am honored to have been selected to be the next executive director at SSCV. I have great personal respect for Aldo and all he has accomplished, the strength of the multiple core snow sports, and the outstanding people involved. SSCV is recognized on a frequent basis by USSA for its excellence as a club and the individual sports,” said Dwyer. “There are great opportunities for the future with the excellent academic programs in place, the Minturn Fitness Center, and the resources provided by Vail Resorts. The planned expansion of Gold Peak will allow for pre-eminence in on-snow training fundamental to future growth and achievement. I am excited by the opportunity to work with the board, staff, athletes and parents of SSCV. We look forward to living in the Vail Valley and becoming part of the community.”

SSCV Board of Trustees Chair Glenn Davis shared, “There are many outstanding qualities that position Kirk to lead Ski & Snowboard Club Vail through its next phase of development. We are thrilled to have a person of Kirk’s experience and stature step in as the next leader of SSCV.”
