The annual Crash of the Year award as selected by Kirk Cochrane was then presented. This year was a toss up between two very spectacular crashes, one which destroyed a large section of fencing and one that broke a ski helmet. Fortunately, both klutzes......er....athletes were able to walk away from each incident. The Crash of the Year ended up a tie between Chris Reid and Matt Kuhling!
	Kirk called upon the Alpine Race Team graduating members (Andrea Delaney, Clark Whiting and Jill Wilson and Amber Simmons) so they could have pictures taken with the provincial plaque and receive recognition for their efforts at helping make QVSC a great TEAM!

These graduating members then presented the coaching staff of the Alpine Race Team with a plaque in recognition of their success at coaching QVSC to seven consecutive provincial championships.
