2025 Moose Valuable Skier Award Nominations Open

It’s time to submit your nominations for this year’s Moose Valuable Skier Award! The MVS Award is given annually to two Minnesota high school skiers who exemplify the Moose Nordic values of sportsmanship, humility, empowerment, and integrity. Skiers and coaches, if you have a teammate or an athlete who you think lives out these values and is deserving of this award, please nominate them! New for this year, you can also nominate yourself. If you are nominating yourself, you will be asked to provide your coach’s contact info as a reference.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, the two winners will receive* a pair of Madshus skis and poles chosen specifically for the award recipient, a pair of boots to be picked out at Finn Sisu, and a pair of Julbo glasses!

Make a nomination via our nomination portal through April 8th. The two winners will be selected by April 13th. Questions? Email moosenordic@gmail.com.

Because being fast isn’t the most important thing in life!

*Equipment is chosen for the award recipient but given to the high school team to comply with MSHSL rules. Upon graduation, we leave it up to the coach to decide if the equipment goes with the skier or stays with the team.
