In 1955, the grandchildren of John W. McCrillis partnered with the Mt. Sunapee Area Club to recognize and show appreciation to those in our area who have dedicated their time and effort to supporting the sport of skiing. Each year, when the recipient is recognized, we are reminded of the dedication and commitment that Mr. McCrillis had to this great sport and community. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to honor these individuals who carry on the same spirit.

John W. McCrillis, a United States Ski Hall of Fame member, was a skiing pioneer. This award is given in his honor to pay tribute to local people who have contributed to skiing.
