Conceived by local resident Pepi Gramshammer and supported by the Vail Valley Foundation, Vail Resorts, the Town of Vail and the Beaver Creek Resort Company, the Vail Valley Athlete Commission is dedicated to providing financial support for individuals competing in an international arena.
To be considered for funding, a competitor must be:
- A minimum of 15 years of age.
- Participate in international competition, outside of North America.
- Be a resident of the Vail Valley for a minimum of three years.
- Apply as an individual, rather than a team.
Applications for the winter 08/09 season are due on October 17, with funds distributed by mid-November.
Download the application here. Forms may also be picked up at the Vail Valley Foundation offices in Avon. All forms should be submitted to the Foundation at P.O. Box 309, Vail, Co. 81658, to the attention of Jennifer Mason, Director of Competition and Logistics. For additional information, contact the Foundation at (970) 949-1999.
