Default Snowboarder Named Top Colorado Ski Patroller

Was checking http://www.firsttracksonline.com/welcome2.htm and came
across this:

Snowboarder Named Top Colorado Ski Patroller

Steamboat Springs, CO (Thursday, July 6, 2006) - Dean "Cody" St. John
was honored by Colorado Ski Country USA as it named the first
snowboarder ever as "2005-2006 Colorado Ski Patroller of the Year" at
its annual meeting in Steamboat Springs last month.

A member of the Steamboat Springs National Ski Patrol for the past
three years, St. John, 28, was cited for exuding an unparallel
commitment to keeping the slopes safe, setting the highest standards
and doing so on a snowboard, breaking the common stereotype of
snowboarders. Despite his short tenure, St. John received the most
nominations from his fellow patrollers who average 16 years of
experience each.

Steamboat patrol director John Kohnke said "I've patrolled for 26 years
and I'd rank him in the top 5% I've ever seen or worked with. He's
polite, very capable, has all the skills and is incredibly mature."

The Colorado Ski Country USA judging committee must have agreed, voting
St. John as the first snowboard patroller to win the award. St. John
was Steamboat's first snowboard-only patroller and only the third
Steamboat patroller to win the prestigious award.
